This informative event will be on Tuesday, May 19, 2020, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, highlighting a current COVID-19 SERVICE PROJECT, as FLC Chapter Members along with public call-in participants related to the future of the UN’s 75th Anniversary, will have an opportunity to answer three pertinent questions: 1) What kind of future do we want to create, moving forward? 2) Are we on track to create that future? 3) What is needed to “bridge the gap” as an informational event to share with the Broward County communities.
