Resource Fairs & Booths

June 25, 2010

As WEAVE's name has become increasingly familiar in the community, requests for our presence at fairs has increased as well. We are grateful that so many organizations value WEAVE's participation. Unfortunately, this also means that we are unable to fill all of the requests that we receive. WEAVE's agreement to participate is based on the information and availability of staff.
