  • Colorful flyer for a crafting event titled "Crafternoons: Crafting Connections @ WRC." The top of the flyer features images of art supplies including paint, beads, scissors, thread, and buttons. The event occurs every 1st Friday from 2–4 pm. The next session is on October 3 and the activity will be Affirmation Jars. There are illustrated jars on the flyer, one with a heart and another with the words "You deserve all the good things." A note at the bottom states: “This event is open to all eligible persons regardless of gender, race, color or national origin. Funding provided by the Student Cultural Programming Fee.” The design is playful and colorful, with craft-themed decorations throughout.
