As we continue to navigate the uncertainty caused by COVID-19 and its effect on all of us, we will continue to adhere to the CDC’s recommendations involving “social distancing.” Our Board of Directors is working diligently to reschedule our education sessions and networking events.  More information will be coming out soon. The safety and well-being of our Members and Business Partners is always our number one concern.  We remain hopeful that we will all be together soon.  In the meantime, please stay healthy and safe.

Please feel free to reach out to Kathy Remetta, Krista Hart or  Maureen Austin with any concerns at [email protected].

Due to COVID 19, our June 1st volunteer event at the Gift of Life Family House has been canceled.  In lieu of preparing dinner for the Home Cook Heroes Program, the Chapter will be making a monetary donation to the House so they can purchase food for the guests.

We are scheduled to volunteer at the Gift of Life Family House on September 29 and November 3 and we are hopeful that will happen.  In the meantime, if you would like more information about the program, please visit https://www.giftoflifefamilyhouse.org/bridge-volunteer/home-cook-heroes-program/
