Each week’s Zoom will be recorded and posted in the Facebook group for playback by attendees in case you miss anything or are unable to attend. The private Facebook group is where a lot of information will be provided, Kimberly monitors this group everyday and will be able to help should any question arise before our weekly Zoom sessions.
