These will be “virtual” sessions offered via ZOOM; all you need is a computer with a built-in camera and microphone to participate in the comfort of your own home. Sessions began Wed April 1st at 7 PM and will continue during the mandated “stay-at-home” order. Attend daily or when your schedule permits. The Knights can also help you get setup with a free subscription to ZOOM if you require some assistance. If interested or have questions please contact Eric Fernandes.
