11:30-12:30 every Monday, grab a coffee or your lunch and drop by to meet and mingle with the VA Victory Field Team. You can drop in for just a few minutes or the entire hour. They will have updates from the Coordinated campaign, and they also will take questions. This will be an open conversation to share ideas and plans for the year.

Worrisome Times Podcast
Bob Taibbi, one of our generous Silent Auction donors, has created a podcast to help us through this time. Living through a 100-year pandemic provides lots of good reasons to feel anxious and depressed. In this podcast we will look at how to cope with anxiety and depression in these anxious times.
