Dear Glen,
This is what's happening remotely at HopeSpring this week. 

 <https://hopespring.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=0a3ede5ca3&e=ece80c31c3> 

We've launched our Spring & Summer 2020 Program Guide.
Here's are some quick highlights: 

*	Some of our programs, like Relaxation Therapies, Art Expression, Water Yoga and Puddle Jumpers aren't doable while we adhere to social distancing practices. We'll be keeping an eye on practices to determine when these programs can return. 
*	At this time, our program guide is available online only.
*	We've added our new member form online. It's available at  <https://hopespring.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=458295b78a&e=ece80c31c3> New Member Form.
*	We've created a Calendar of our programs. It's available at  <https://hopespring.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=d73feb67d5&e=ece80c31c3> Spring & Summer 2020 Program Guide Calendar. You can view the calendar, click on the desired program and register from within.

In case you missed this last week:

>From the Desk of Jane Mitchell, Executive Director: 

COVID-19 is making many of us rethink our lives. I have decided to not renew my contract and retire from HopeSpring to spend more time with my husband and family and to finish my book. My last day was April 30th.  I am pleased with how HopeSpring is moving ahead, especially in this time of COVID-19. The team is wonderful and is there for you even though we are working remotely. Don’t forget to continue donating to HopeSpring, people affected by cancer are especially vulnerable at this time. Many thanks to HopeSpring for this opportunity to help those affected by cancer.

-Jane Mitchell, Executive Director
