COVID-19 Changes:
As we continue to work to ensure the health and safety of us all, we are maintaining our practice of meeting on zoom. Our community continues to gather and show strength and solidarity and to be present for one another.
Our numerous virtual gatherings provide an opportunity to be present in the lives of one another in new and creative ways and to check in on members, friends and even family from afar. We can take a moment to celebrate and acknowledge the resilience and strength of our community. We are proud of those who serve to keep us healthy in so many different ways.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to any of our Special and Endowment Funds
