Paint & Sip

You may not start a new career but you’re sure to experience  accomplishment, relaxed, enjoy hors d'oeuvres while sipping on  select  wines while following instructions to creating a canvas of your own doing.  Think about how you'll sign your picture at our next Paint & Sip.

 W.O.W. Fest at Jeorse Park offered more fun and additional cultural  experience for all that attended.


Pastor Homer Walker of Living Water Baptist Church in partnership with Heartland Blood Center invited Multicultural Wellness Network to setup a table to distribute information as the congregation and the community set aside time this weekend during interment rain to donate blood to give those in need a chance for a better, healthier life. 

Thank you for the gift of life!
