WOHDA is so pleased to launch our new and improved logo. This has been discussed for a few years now and we are
pleased (and relieved, lol) to say that it is now complete. We began this journey in December of 2024 and after several months of meetings, discussions and changes it is finished. WOHDA could NOT have done this without the generous donation from Wheildon MacKenzie Optometry and the Tanner Family. We are extremely grateful for their generosity, support and donation. WOHDA hopes you like our new look as much as we do. If there are any objections to our new logo, kindly email wohdadance@gmail.com by June 7, 2025. The new logo will be formally accepted at our November AGM
