We are planning a set of breakout sessions across three separate Zoom meetings with multiple break outs in each meeting From Campfire Stories (sharing our real life and engaging stories), Game Room (fun interactive games where you can compete individually or as part of a team in games like Family Feud )or meet with our National Representative, Denise Avant.
