Hello Everyone!
WOW, October is here already. Fall has officially begun, the leaves are turning beautiful colors and there is a crisp chill in the air. Since we are headed into month 8 of the pandemic we thought we would mix things up a little. We have a JAMMED PACKED calendar in October with a mix of IN PERSON and virtual offerings. Make sure to check out the newsletter and check our website for all the wonderful events happening this month!
