💛 ✨November Monthly In-Person Gathering: Rest, Reset & Reconnect 💛 ✨

Join us for the monthly Prince William County Women that Wine in‑person meeting!
✨ Featured Activity: Joy & Gratitude Jars 

After months of campaigning, postcard writing, voter outreach, and showing up for our community, November offers us a gentle pause. This meeting is our chance to exhale — to rest, reset, and reconnect with one another after a busy civic season. Together, we’ll celebrate our shared efforts, honor the energy we’ve poured into our democracy, and refill our cups before the holiday season begins.  This month’s gathering centers joy, gratitude, and community care. Come as you are — tired, proud, energized, reflective — and settle into a space designed to restore.

✨Joy & Gratitude Jars
A simple, soothing craft with meaningful purpose. Each member will create a Joy & Gratitude Jar — a decorated jar filled with handwritten notes of appreciation, encouragement, happy memories, or small joys. Bring it to your Thanksgiving table later this month so family and friends can add their own notes to share or keep it at home as a personal reminder of joy throughout the winter.
We will provide:  
• Jars
• Decorative materials
• Joy & gratitude prompt slips
• Pens, paper, ribbon, inspiration
You may bring (optional): 
• Additional stickers or embellishments
• A favorite quote or affirmation to include
• Any gentle craft you’d prefer to work on if you’re not up for jar‑making
This is a no‑pressure, come‑as‑you‑are gathering. The goal is simply to be together, unwind, and reconnect.
