GLAAM Virtual Regional Gathering 2021
Saturday, February 13, 2021
9am to 11pm PST
Welcome to the 2021 GLAAM VRG. We will see people on Zoom instead of meeting friends you haven’t seen for a year. No charge. No hotels, no driving. Speakers, games, entertainment, and time to chat with friends. Wake up at 9:00 am with Sue Barr’s Chair Yoga! We have scheduled two Zoom events. Tune in on half a dozen great speakers and terrific games during the day, and enjoy story-telling in the evening.
