Portland ambassador Melanie Means lead a hike to the twin summits of Silver Star Mtn today and had views for miles and miles of 8 volcanoes: Mt Hood, St Helens, Rainier, Adams, Jefferson, North, Middle and South Sister, and Goat Rocks! They finished up with a scramble to the top of Pyramid Rock. There was even a new member who just joined WWE yesterday and said it was her first ever hike… badass!

New Mexico ambassadors, Amanda and Linda, hosted a Paint, Sip, and Swap event in December. They went to a local coffee shop/wine bar and watercolor painted bookmarks and did a book swap! By partnering with the local shop, they were able to reach some women who have never heard about WWE and they are going to join. It was a great event for a cozy time.
