With the cancellation of Saturday’s CEU session, it was decided to donate the meat and cheese trays that we had ordered for the event. We collectively agreed to donate to Midwest Street medicine and they were very very grateful!
Their organization has spoken to us as a group previously. They provide minor medical services to those in need.
