An Evening with the Wiggins Place Committee

On May 31st the Wiggins Place Committee joined the Wiggins Place tenants for a Q&A session in the Lobby.  It was a wonderful event which enabled our tenants and members of our Committee to get to know each other.  The Committee members were eager to answer the many questions posed to them and were "all ears" when the tenants offered suggestions.  A dessert reception immediately followed which gave the tenants a further opportunity to ask questions and become acquainted with the committee members they did not already know.

Thank you so much to the Wiggins Place Committee for a wonderful evening.  We are so grateful for everything each of you do for Wiggins Place and its' tenants.
