Friends,
This week at 350 Tacoma we held our first-ever Virtual Potluck and General Meeting via Zoom. It wasn’t quite the same as getting to see everyone in real life, but it was sure sweet to see familiar faces and spend some time reflecting together.
Right now I am on day 6 of self-quarantine with my sons as we prepare to welcome my elderly mother into our home so we can take good care of her through the pandemic. I imagine that life for each of you is looking different these days, too, as we each adapt to our changing personal circumstances.
No matter where you are in the State of Washington, I hope you are able to find rest and comfort in this difficult moment.
Here are a few helpful resources that I want to share with you all:
-
COVID-19 Resources for 350.org US Local Groups (Official Resource Guide for Local Groups)
