Galentine’s Craft Night!

by Dallas SWE on in Special Events

We had so much fun at our “Cookies and Crafts Night” that we are doing it again! Join us on Friday, January 30th from 5:30pm-7:30pm at Claire’s house in Richardson (address to be provided to registrants) for an early Galentine’s day themed craft night. During this event, our amazing treasurer Claire Jordan will be guiding us through the steps of making cute and functional SWE conference lanyards for us to sell to raise money for our section. We encourage everyone to bring a treat of your choosing to be enjoyed while we craft. No crafting experience required!
