     Happy almost-Spring from the board–here’s hoping the warmth is here to stay! The board met on February 20 and was introduced to Dr. Aunchalee Palmquist, an anthropologist from Elon University who will be doing some qualitative research with WBWC. We welcome Dr. Palmquist and team and look forward to hearing about their work at our April meeting. Maureen Darcey updated the board on pending activities at the NC State Legislature, and we thank her for keeping us informed about current proposals and action.
As we head into the months of growth and bloom, the board wishes all at WBWC a healthy and allergy-free season!
