Monday News and Updates

Zoom Only - August "Adventures in Learning"

Face to Face is Cancelled

Good Evening,

I have sent an email to all who have registered for "Adventures in Learning", but I wanted to also address these changes in our Monday email. The Shepherd's Center of Topeka Board of Directors has decided to cancel Face to Face participation at our August 7 and August 14 "Adventures in Learning" due to Covid-19 and the increased number of cases. However, we are offering "Adventures in Learning" via Zoom! If you would like to sign up we will still accept registrations through Wednesday.

We are so thankful to our speakers on August 7 who have agreed to give their presentations entirely through Zoom. This may change in two weeks, and we will revisit our options for week three and four and keep you informed. We will also have our SCT Annual Meeting via Zoom on August 7 at 11:30.

Our priority is to help keep everyone safe during this difficult time. Thank you for your patience.

Blessings,

Karen Willard

SCT Director
