Upcoming Meetings and Book Clubs for 2023
As 2023 starts we wanted to post information about upcoming meetings and book clubs Hearing Loss Association of America- Twin Cities Chapter (HLAA-TC). All HLAA-TC Chapter meetings and HLAA-TC book clubs are happening on Zoom. We hope to eventually offer hybrid meetings (meaning both in person and Zoom) but until we are able to offer that in the best way for members and attendees we will be holding all meetings on Zoom.
