Thank you. Once again, our community, donors, and corps of volunteers came together to bring Trade Secrets to fruition. Envisioned in 2001 by Bunny Williams and her head gardener and Women’s Support Services (WSS) Board member, Naomi Blumenthal, this two-day event has grown significantly, attracting attendees from across the country and overseas. The proceeds from the event are vital to the work of WSS – covering more than 35% of our program and operating costs. These funds ensure that WSS is able to provide counseling, advocacy, education, and training services free of charge across our community. Despite the rain and wind, the two-day event sold over 2800 tickets and raised more than $285,000. Thank you to the nearly 200 community members who gave their time, talent, and energy to plan and execute

Thank you to the many volunteers who make our work possible
