They came from all across the city – the North Side, the South Side, the West Side, and the Southwest Side.

And on Thursday, July 28th, we celebrated the graduation of the twenty-one inaugural WILD interns.

The Wellington WILD Steering Committee – Jim Morris, Karen Graham, Kryss Chupp & Shelby Hatch – along with AFSC’s Debbie Southorn, will share more with the congregation this fall about our inaugural WILD summer.
