You are invited to join with friends and colleagues in support of PROJECT RENEW by attending the 23rd Washington Craft Show. Here's what to do: Purchase a ticket to the Washington Craft Show. The Washington Craft Show will send PROJECT RENEW $5 for each visitor who presents this certificate along with their regular priced $15 ticket at the admission booth on Friday, November 19, between the hours of 5pm-8pm. Let’s get lots of people in to support this wonderful group on Friday night.
