| Happy November! This month we will focus on the importance of serving and the many ways to serve. We will highlight community service providers, enjoy talks by guest speakers, and get creative with puppet making and baking. No RSVP’s are necessary for meetings, only special events. As a reminder, all events will happen at the same Zoom link. In addition, please take note of the group meeting start times. We will stagger the start times of the group meeting again this month. Finally, we will prepare for the Kennedy Krieger Institute’s Festival of Trees. The sale of this tree will benefit the programs at Kennedy Kreiger. Stay involved and we look forward to your participation!! Blessings, Ja’Near Garrus Director |
