We at WAS-H are extremely grateful to all the generous donors who support our exciting project to add streaming and expand online programming.  This support allowed WAS-H to begin purchasing the video cameras as well as related parts and equipment.  We hope to begin streaming our monthly demonstrations soon after we reach our fundraising goal, followed by other tutorials, demonstrations, classes and exhibit award presentations.  Donors are making a difference for those who cannot come to our building in person, now and into the future.
