         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          This holiday season, join us for a hilariously irreverent twist on the classic A Christmas Carol with Christopher Durang's Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge. In this madcap comedy, Mrs. Cratchit has had enough of her overworked husband, their countless children, and the sentimental holiday clichés. When the Ghost of Christmas Past arrives to set things right, chaos ensues as the story takes wildly unexpected detours. Filled with sharp wit, zany characters, and laugh-out-loud moments, this uproarious spoof turns tradition on its head and delivers a fresh dose of holiday cheer. Perfect for anyone looking to shake up their holiday season with something unexpected and wildly entertaining!

          Heartland Fabrication sits on a site in Brownsville with a long history of boat and barge building. Over 130 years ago the first boat business was formed in Brownsville. Today, that legacy is as strong as ever with our modern barge fabrication facility. That heritage means something to Heartland’s team. We are a tight-knit community, we raise families, participate in civic events, and help our neighbors. And we believe in products Made in the USA. Our barges are no exception. American steel, backed by American pride.

         Tour of Liberty Pole Spirits
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  
         Join fellow WCMA members for a tour of the new Liberty Pole Spirits distillery on Wednesday, December 13, 2023. After 7 years of operating out of a converted monument factory in downtown Washington PA, Liberty Pole Spirits opened a beautiful world class distillery campus a few miles away in North Strabane PA in the summer of 2023. This whiskey campus consists of an incredible tasting room modeled after an 18th century Meetinghouse.  With a beautiful stone exterior, 4 working fireplaces, expansive vaulted ceilings and a beautiful springhouse bar, this tasting room is a whiskey lover/history buff's dream.  The campus also includes a 7,500 sf production building and a 4,000 sf barrel warehouse with the capacity to store 3,600 barrels in an open air, 5-floor traditional wood rickhouse. Spouses and friends are welcome for the tour. Food and drinks are available after the tour at your expense if you wish to stay and mingle after the tour. While there is no charge for the tour, we do need to let Liberty Pole know how many people to expect, so please RSVP below by Monday, December 11, 2024 or call Jennifer Stockdale at 724-263-2664.  Be sure to leave your name, the name of your company and any guests.

           Many of you send multiple representatives to meetings and events and, of course, the more the merrier! However, we only send ONE invoice for the low, low annual fee of $50 for your company be a member of WCMA. A price that has not changed since 1972 (talk about recession proof)! In the interest of efficiency and saving trees, we will start distributing annual invoices via email. Please fill out the contact form below with the contact at your company who should receive your annual invoice.
