CONWAY — The Women’s Leadership Network will debut the” WLN Royal Gala, A Bridgerton-inspired experience” from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Nov. 30, at Legacy Acres, 100 Legacy Acres Dr., Conway. WLN was recently approved by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) charity and this premiere fundraiser will further their mission to improve the lives of women.
