Join us online via Zoom for weekly Monday meetings.
Monday, January 18 - NO JSN MEETINGS!
JSN will not meet on Monday, January 18 in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. On this designated holiday, America honors the birth, life and dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and we pay tribute to Dr. King’s achievement and legacy of “creating a more just, peaceful and humane world.” Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is the only national holiday designated as a day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. We greatly encourage you to take some time on Monday, January 18 to pause and reflect on the life and legacy of Dr. King and to serve or volunteer in your community.
JSN will resume meeting on Monday, January 25 on Zoom.
