“Becoming a Board Member for CHWA was a new experience for me. I quickly learned that I had become part of an organization of caring people who are passionate about preserving, enhancing, and serving our historic town. The work CHWA does is an integral part of the vibrancy of Coupeville with grants, programs, yearly events, lighting, and even floral baskets! CHWA continues to consider the challenges of keeping our small town thriving and preserving it for future generations.”
