WAGR Weekend 2024 was held in sunny San Diego, California. It was hosted by the Volk Family and supported by a fantastic group of volunteers. IWSA families were treated to a Friday afternoon San Diego Bay boat cruise followed by dinner and social time. Mom’s Night Out was well attended and as always the time went by too quickly! The Dad’s activity was different this year, with fathers meeting for a Saturday morning breakfast.
Our thanks to the Volks and Karen Vaughan for the amazing fundraising efforts and planning for a memorable weekend for all attendees! And special thanks to all of the volunteers who made it possible for parents to relax and socialize with others who understand their challenges.
