However, we have...n’t had a chance to meet for several months now, so we thought it was important to get together and see how everyone is doing. Obviously, we still cannot physically meet at our usual brick and mortar location but one potential positive aspect to this whole thing is that the entire world has received a crash course in conducting business online from the comfort of their own homes! Given our new reality we are going to be holding our first ever Zoom Chapter Meeting! We are extremely thankful to have volunteer Captionist, Betty Atanasu, join us to caption our virtual meeting this Saturday. We will be having an old-fashioned Rap Session.
