Mission Groups Meet Soon!
The planning committee, Sisters Barbara Harrington, JoAnn Hohenbrink, Rene Weeks and Carol Davis are eagerly awaiting the upcoming Spring Mission Group meetings. There is still time to register.
Both Sisters and Associates are invited to be part of the morning session of the meeting.
Please choose to attend one of the two options for these Zoom meetings, Sisters full day, Associates half day:
Dates: Saturday, March 22nd or Monday March 24th
Time: 10 AM – 3:30PM Eastern time Please click here to register for the Spring Mission Group meeting. Sisters will register for the whole day. Associates will register for the morning which begins promptly at 10 am and concludes at noon Eastern time.
It is important to choose your date and register so that our Communications team can be prepared for the technology needed.
Once you have selected your date, before to mark your calendar. We will send a few more reminders too.
Both days have identical programs and will include break-out groups, therefore, it is best if you have one person or no more than two people at an individual computer.
We know from experience it is easier to see and talk with just one or two people at a time on a screen.
The Spring 2025 Mission Group Meetings will include the use of ZOOM rooms. Click here for a quick reminder of how to enter and exit a zoom room.
Looking forward to this time together!
