Our Online Meeting via Zoom on March 22 was enjoyed by all, and we plan to continue these meeting for the duration of the Covid 19 crisis. We had new attendees, and some who joined in only to listen. This is a good opportunity for people who have not been able to get to our in-person meetings to get involved.
