100+ Women Who Care--MKE Metro West Checks Delivered to Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts “Beyond the Classroom Performance Series”
On December 7, members of 100+ Women Who Care--MKE Metro West delivered our donations from our November meeting to our chosen charity, the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center with their “Beyond the Classroom Performance Series”. Our members delivering our checks were Jane Condon, Kathy Olsen, and the person who nominated the Wilson Center, Janet Brown. We were met by very welcoming members of the Wilson Center as shown above starting on the left--Jennifer Moran (Marketing & Communications Director), Sandy Wysocki (Executive Director), Peter Mol (Artistic Associate/Director of Education) and, at the far right, Tiffanie Wren (Director of Development). We were excited to learn more about their wonderful program, created by the Wilson Center, to help students become engaged in the arts and other projects they have to make a difference in our community.
We also learned more about history of the Wilson Center which we are sharing at this location, https://www.wilson-center.com. Upcoming programs in December include:
• Canadian Brass, 2 pm on December 11
• Caroling by the Fireplace by the Florentine Opera Studio Artists, 7:30 pm Dec. 13
•. Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Holiday Concert, 8:00 pm, Dec. 16
We all will learn more interesting facts about the Wilson Center and all the projects they have developed over the years at our next meeting on Tuesday, March 28, 2023.
