Guilford Winter Pen Pals
This is an opportunity to combat the tendency of isolation and cabin fever during the winter, and to build connections throughout our community, by exchanging letters “pen pal” style. The set up is simple: participants will be given the contact info of a correspondence partner. When you send the first letter, you are off!
