[NFBP-Talk] Zoom Events for this week

Mon Jun 1 15:31:10 UTC 2020

Hi Amy,

Sorry, but we have not been recording the Reading Round Table discussions, since those sessions are more personal and discussion-oriented. We did not want to inhibit sharing by making those discussions publicly available. We have been recording and posting the events that are more training-oriented and which are useful as technical or vocational resources. 

Thank you very much,

Joe

Hi Joseph,

Thank you for all you do! 
I was wondering if I missed the archive link for the Reading Roundtable for last Monday, or if it hasn't been sent yet. 
Thank you so much!
