WERU’s Community Calendar March 22, 2020 The urge to be creative, learn and enjoy the arts and culture is hard-wired into humans, and the COVID-19 pandemic does not shut that down. Our community is rich with cultural and educational opportunities, which have taken to the Internet, so local goings on that are normally in-person activities are now done remotely. The creativity persists and WERU is here to be part of that with our programming and share information about other organizations. Check out our calendar for the latest online events and services!
