NOTE: We are excited to start our 2026 Season with you at our Winter Social! As you may be aware, the CDC status for the flu and respiratory illnesses is posted as “very high.” We need your help to create a warm, welcoming, and healthy gathering where everyone can relax and enjoy the afternoon. We will provide spacious seating, hand sanitizer, and refunds up to the start of the event for anyone feeling unwell or cautious. As an attendee, you are free to wear a mask (but they aren’t required). Thank you in advance for helping to make this a fun, meaningful, and healthy Winter Social. -NHWP Board Trustees
