Make sure to not miss our last meeting of 2020 which will be held (via Zoom) at noon on Wednesday, December 16.  We have many fun activities planned and we will continue with our long standing tradition of supporting the Meals on Wheels program. We will use the same Zoom link that we have been using this fall and Ulli will send out a email reminder the day before.
