What Outer Coast is doing through COVID-19
26 March 2020
Dear Friends of Outer Coast,
COVID-19 is in our communities and on all our minds. We at Outer Coast hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy in this challenging time. We are monitoring COVID-19 developments closely and working to understand the implications for future Outer Coast programs. At this point, we have determined that it is too early to make a call on the Summer Seminar and will continue in our preparations.
