There will be an all-day steering committee meeting on March 29th to continue the dialog about who we are and what we can be doing to support each other as a group. Please feel free to send your comments and ideas to Nancy, or attend in person. Location to be decided.

Our fifth anniversary was celebrated on February 11 - nice potluck, great people, and yay US! It was a lovely time to reflect on and acknowledge the fact that we, as a group, have hung in there through the past three covid years in particular - and that we have an emerging sense of ourselves as a group who is discerning our needs and defining paths to meet them. Thank you Everybody for being a part of the journey.

Cheers from your Steering Committee
