When and where are we meeting?
|
We will be following Covid protocols to determine whether we can meet in-person again. We are looking for meeting spaces for the winter months ahead that will allow us to use their space from about 6:30-8:30 pm once a month. In the past, we have met at Community rooms, libraries, an acupuncture school, and an architecture firm office. Please email us if you have access to a place where we could meet in person when it is safe. We expect to continue a hybrid virtual component in addition to meeting physically. If you have an ipad you'd like to donate or skills with this, please let us know!
