That's great

Can I join this meeting virtually?
To drive from East Mesa to PHX one would be quite an under taking for a 6 o’clock at night meeting.
There was a time that there was an invite, and it was occurring when I was receiving my treatments. It seemed to conflict it every time.
My schedule is less demanding now!

I was expecting someone else to respond, but FYI the meeting is now entirely online.

Watch the Events section at the end. There should be a meeting announcement by the end of the month for a meeting on the first Tues of the next month.

The link I have in my calendar from prior meetings is:
