Our entire unit meets on the fourth Monday of each month in the Multi-Purpose Room in the life Enrichment Center at 12:00 noon. After lunch, we participate in worship, have an informative program and a brief business session.
Our unit is divided into four circles or small groups, which meet as follows:
