Comments
Please consider live streaming LOC programs as webinars and or on demand video and posting video on You Tube so everyone can learn about the topics.
Many familes, including mine, have deleted all social media accounts. The homeless, people living in poverty and students are unlikely to be able to attend LOC events in person.
Facebook Live and most social media platforms could supplement but shouldn’t replace webinars, on demand video and You Tube.
