February CFHS Meeting
Tuesday, February 8, Noon – 2 p.m.
Due to the resurgence of COVID, we will hold our January monthly meeting on Zoom. If you plan to join us via Zoom, you can join on your computer or telephone. If you experience any issues, please call 240-288-7396 and we will help you register.
Monthly meetings will require participants to register in advance. Click here to register for our monthly meetings.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. You only have to register once, and once you are registered, you will be registered for the remainder of the meetings until January 2022. Your confirmation email from Zoom will send you a link that you can add to your calendar, and you will be able to join the meeting every second Tuesday of the month. We have switched to this format so that we do not have to send out a new link every month.
