We have new sections on this Newsletter
We’re working to distribute the information you want to see in a way that is inclusive for all our member’s needs but not overwhelming.
Our Monthly Events tab is now at the top of our Substack Home Page. You can easily learn about our various group activities there. Each group has it’s own section within that page, so look for the Parent’s Group, Adult’s Group, Women’s Group, Teen Group, or Special Events subpage per your interest. These are also listed below, so keep scrolling to find the group that interests you!
We’ll post new helpful articles and recordings of events on our Articles and Event Recordings page. Note: not all of our events are recorded, but if they are, they will be posted here.
