Dear Daughters of Erin Members,
As we approach our summer break knowing it will be impossible to meet as a large group, we will be meeting via Zoom on Sunday, June 14 at 2 p.m.
Please see the updated instructions and information below.
It will be good to connect with each of you once again!
I am not sure what will happen in September when we are scheduled to resume meetings and activities, but I pray that we will all remain healthy and safe this summer. Please feel free to reach out to me at
mckoprs@yahoo.com
with your comments or suggestions.
Peace,
Chris
