  Many folks are asking about our summer program.  We hope to have details of that for you by next Monday.  Due to COVID-19 we can tell you the majority of our programming will be virtual this summer and we have already posted some things such as virtual overnight camp.  For folks who already signed up for our summer program, you should have received a letter from us.  We appreciate your understanding and patience as we try to make this the best summer ever for our youth. 

That's all for today.  Hope you all have a safe week.

Wendy, Christy, and Shea Ann
