Coping
We are all living through a difficult time right now and thought we might use this newsletter as a means of sharing ideas and thoughts about how each of us has been coping. Our Village is about connecting with and reassuring each other. We hope you will send us your thoughts...perhaps addressing one of these questions:
  • How are you keeping your and/or your family's spirits up?
  • What if anything has surprised you about the goodness of others?

About 100 words or less would be great. Please email your answers to Barbara@meltzerpr.com . All responses will be read and we will publish what we can.
Stay Calm and Zoom On
Need Help?
Many of our virtual events are now on Zoom which is a way that participants can see and hear each other from their computer, phone or tablet. Each event listing now includes Zoom call instructions. If you need technical help, contact Talia at Admin@ChaiVillageLA.org or 310.871.2721 or Devorah at Devorah@ChaiVillageLA.org or 310.592.0321 between the hours of 3-4 PM Monday through Friday.
