Baby, It's Cold Outside

A Note about 2021 Events and Coping with Covid

 

 In spite of our continuing pandemic, the NGS Board has continued to provide very interesting and educational programs.  One benefit to remote programming has been drawing speakers from around the country. We have had speakers from Massachusetts, Ohio and southern Illinois.

Many THANKS go to Eva Mannaberg and Nancy Wieting for planning and executing such stimulating events.

 

Please visit our Past Programs page to see what we have done.
