Also, as per St. George’s policy: Anyone who attends in person must wear a mask at all times when within the building. This means if you need to eat, drink, or be merry in a particularly frisky manner (get a room!) Seriously, please do you dining prior to the meeting or wait until we are finished. Any violation of the church’s policy voids our agreement to abide by the church’s rules in the use of their room. If anyone wants to bring Valentine or just-because goodies to share, please distribute them when we depart. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14.7px; line-height: normal; color: rgb(11, 76, 180);" class=""><span style="text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none" class=""> Potomac Chapter February 17, 7:00 PM</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14.7px; line-height: normal; color: rgb(11, 76, 180);" class=""><span style="text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none" class=""> Hybrid Meeting: In Person and via Zoom</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14.7px; line-height: normal; color: rgb(11, 76, 180); min-height: 17px;" class=""><span style="text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14.7px; line-height: normal; color: rgb(11, 76, 180);" class=""><span style="text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none" class="">In person:</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14.7px; line-height: normal; color: rgb(11, 76, 180);" class=""><span style="text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none" class="">St. George’s Episcopal Church</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14.7px; line-height: normal; color: rgb(11, 76, 180);" class=""><span style="text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none" class="">915 N.
