Calendar

In Person and Virtual Events

We have in-person, Zoom, and hybrid (both in-person and Zoom) events.  Check the calendar below or the online newsletter for details.

Important Note for In-Person Events: Be Kind! – If you’re not feeling well or have any symptoms such as a fever, cough, runny nose, COVID, etc, PLEASE be courteous to your fellow members and don’t attend.

We chose to use Zoom videoconferencing software because it is user friendly and it’s free. You may connect via computer, tablet, or smart phone. If you need help with Zoom, please contact Teresa.

If you have ideas for additional events or activities please contact Jan.

Zoom meeting links are sent weekly on Monday to all current members of CIM who have an email address on file with the national office. The subject line is “CIM Weekly ReMINDer.” Interested in attending as a guest? Please contact Teresa (see above).

Please note all times are Eastern time zone.
