Virtual General Meetings!!

Check Your Email!!
The MVAL Board of Directors has decided that in order to continue to be with each other and continue to learn during these trying times of COVID, we will take the big leap into the virtual world of ZOOM. Before the meeting date, Julie Crouch will send an email blast to all MVAL members with a Zoom invitation for the general meetings going forward. 

The email will give instructions on how to join the Zoom meeting with your device of choice (computer, iPad or smartphone).
