HYBRID MEETING @ HOFFMAN HEIGHTS LIBRARY, LOWER LEVEL

If interested in attending the meeting via Zoom, please email your ‘request to attend’ to: AurGenSoc@gmail.com within 7 days of the

scheduled meeting program date to receive the Zoom attendance link. Registration not required for in-person attendance.
