There will now be a virtual meeting every week. We will host a joint virtual meeting of all groups every week. If you are more comfortable staying virtual or are not able to come to the in-person meetings please join us using the information below. The virtual meeting will begin at 6:45 PM.
** Please remember the ground rules ** We know everyone is anxious to see and hear everyone, but please remember to mute yourself if you are not actually speaking. If you are calling in to the meeting please use the "mute" button on your phone. Please refrain from interjecting comments while someone is speaking, like “Gee”, “Wow”, "Oh My”. They do not help and they take up valuable time. If there is background noise or distraction we WILL mute you. Please be considerate.
