We have regular weekly attendance from the three houses at MaryHaven Women’s Program, Columbus Springs East, and Dublin Springs. Columbus Springs East and Dublin Springs have been joining us every Saturday. Chuck had female speakers lined up for the second Saturdays of March and April. Those are still happening. We had a speaker the second week of  February and from what Chuck told John O, this was successful. At this time, the second Saturday of the month is a Women’s only meeting.

The transition from Chuck to John O has been pretty seamless and John-Bob feels confident in running the Saturday Virtual Panel now.
