Nuestra reunión mensual de Zoom sobre bienestar se celebra el segundo lunes de cada mes, de 5:00 a 6:00 p. m. (hora del Este). Cada mes, tendremos un tema para iniciar la conversación, pero se trata de una reunión informal y, si la discusión se desvía hacia otros temas, ¡no pasa nada! Esperamos que te pases por allí para disfrutar de la compañía de algunas de las personas maravillosas de nuestra comunidad.

Abrimos la sala de Zoom media hora antes (4:30 p. m. ET). para que los miembros puedan disfrutar de un foro abierto en el que debatir cualquier tema que les interese. Rick Whitehead estará allí para darles la bienvenida. La Hora del Bienestar se ha convertido en un evento tan popular que nunca tenemos tiempo suficiente para que todos puedan compartir lo que piensan, por lo que hemos pensado en probar este enfoque.
