COVID UPDATE:
Our monthly meetings have transitioned back to an in-person format. Please watch the program listings for specifics.

When we purchase a program from PG Calc, we have only 1 online connection to the program; in-person attendance at our member hosted location is required to view the webinar that day. Members will have access to a recording of the program, after it airs.

Luncheon programs are offered as hybrid meetings; both in-person and Zoom options are available.
