All, Thank you for your thoughts and questions. I also believe it would be helpful to have ACC's input on record.
Request: if you do not regularly attend ACC meetings, would you please add your city and affiliation? (Thanks, Ken) There are a number of you responding that I'm not familiar with (Rachel, Todd, Ben, Eric, Gary, DuWayne, Jeremy, Annie), and would appreciate knowing your connection. Many thanks, Linda Hodges Aiken Audubon Colorado Springs On Mon, May 4, 2020, 10:41 PM JeremyWinick <[email protected]> wrote: > I am not sure this applies to seniors (65 and over).
