Board and Brush … and lunch!

The HACA Women’s Group had its first in-person gathering since last fall’s women’s retreat on Saturday, May 21. The group gathered at Board & Brush in Fairfax and it was a mix of both veteran members and some new faces. The program kicked off with a presentation on “Taking Care of You” led by Sara Ceresa of Octapharma, our event sponsor. Then the work began! Participants were given their prearranged projects (and a glass of wine) and began to start the several hour process of staining and stenciling. Participants also enjoyed lunch and conversations about their kids, lives, and what’s next for women with bleeding disorders. Everyone left that day with their completed project. Thanks to the Board & Brush staff for walking participants through each step. A special thanks to Octapharma for sponsoring this event!

Save the date for our annual Women’s Retreat, which is coming up September 9-11 at Meadowkirk at Delta Farm in Middleburg, VA. More details to come later this summer.
