☀️ How’s the Weather?
Sunny with a high of 88, low of 58
🎼 In Case You Missed It…
Listen to Oscar nominated screenwriter Lisa Cholodenko and Wendy Melvoin sing “Shower the People,” from our 95th anniversary concert! Lisa was on Tawonga’s staff in the 1980s serving as a counselor, unit head and song leader. Lisa and Wendy have a child attending Tawonga this summer. Keeping the Tawonga traditions alive, we’d say l’dor v’dor – meaning “from generation to generation.”
