Healthy Survival in the COVID-19 Climate Summary: Ann will share uplifting comments about ways to stay active during this time of social/physical distancing and help us understand how a small downtown Lincoln business like Lincoln Running Co. is adapting to COVID-19. 

In addition to our weekly speaker, we will have special guests from Germany, India, Italy, and Spain. It will be great to hear experiences and updates amidst COVID-19 from these countries. You don't want to miss this meeting.
