Location

Zoom

Thursday, October 21, 2021 - 7:15pm to 9:00pm

Dear Leaguers,

We moved our usual 3rd Monday meeting to Thurs., Oct 21 this month, as Westwood is holding a Special Town Meeting on 10/18.

We're gearing up for some local programming for the year. The more of us that participate in this process, the more impactful our programs will be! I apologize for the late notice. We hope you can come!

We ask that people log in to chat around 7:15, so call to order at 7:30 and finish by 9.
