Kathy Shaw, President of Beeswax Candle Company in Downtown Lynchburg will be our guest speaker this month. Their candles are hand-poured in the upper level of their building, where the walls are exposed brick, the original foundation built in the late 1890s. Downstairs, they have a small gallery, where all of their friends and customers come to visit, and fill all of their candle needs. For more information, please visit www.beeswaxcandleco.com.
