Hello teams,
We're excited to finally announce that this year's WRRF
Conference will be held on December 3rd at Notre Dame High
School (San Jose)! Save the Date!
Sorry for the delay, we encountered an unprecedented amount of
difficulty and many twists & turns in working to secure a
suitable event venue this year, but thank you to NDSJ and FRC 1967
for coming through for us!!
(On that note, if you'd be able to host a future event, please
reach out! It has been increasingly difficult to find suitable
venues in the area, and we would appreciate your support to
continue sustaining this long-running event. See our website for our general
hosting needs.)
Volunteer signups are open now - please sign up by end of day Saturday, Nov 18! Visit our website for available roles and a general overview of volunteering, or go straight to the signup form if you're already familiar with that info.
