For the 2025/2026 JASNA Wisconsin program season, the theme will be "Bath" to align with the 2026 AGM theme of Jane Austen's "Bath novels": Northanger Abbey and Persuasion!
We use Zoom for all of our virtual events, so if you are unfamiliar with that platform here is a good video to familiarize yourself with it!
