Thank You Perth and District Community Foundation

MERA is very grateful to the Perth and District Community Foundation for support through their grant program. In 2023 MERA received a generous grant from the foundation for upgrading the windows and insulation in the Weaving Studio. The Weaving Studio can now be used year-round with the added benefit of reduced heating costs for MERA.
