August 2020 - Three Rivers District Update

August is the month where we normally are wrapping up our summer vacations and beginning to prepare for what fall brings. Yet 2020 has been anything but “normal,” and this August is no exception. As you are planning your fall, take time to reflect on the important things in your life—your family, friends, colleagues and you—and make time to recharge your batteries. Heading into fall, we are planning some Three Rivers District events—more information to come!
