TLCC News Summary 2021

All TLCC in-person regular monthly meetings from March 2020 through 2021 were cancelled, however a "virtual show and tell" is available for some months (see below for links).

As of March 16, 2021, the club started having online meetings via Zoom, on the 3rd Tuesday. The most recent online meeting was in November 2021.

Regular in-person meetings will be announced when it's safe to meet again at Greater Lakes Mental Healthcare. Most meetings until then will be online, except as announced (July private get-together and December holiday dinner).

Until the GLMHC facility is available again, meetings may be at a restaurant or other location as announced.
