The group meets by Zoom every third Wednesday of the month at 2:30 P.M. PT/5:30 P.M. ET. If you are an Old/Elder Lesbian of Color and would like to participate in the discussions, please contact Alí Marrero Calderón at ali@oloc.org.
ASL Chat
Due to changes in personal circumstances, the OLOC ASL group needs new members and lesbian ASL interpreters, instructors, or Deaf lesbians who want to help increase our skills and keep conversations going. We’re taking a break over the summer but will begin again in September. We currently meet first and third Sundays at 7 pm EST for one hour. If you know anybody who could volunteer, please contact libby0819allen@gmail.com
Caregivers Support Group

Meets every Monday at 1:00 P.M. ET.
Please use this Time Zone Converter for your area.
Co-Facilitators: Barb Ester, 1947, and Ruth Debra, 1944.
This Zoom group offers opportunities to share experiences and ideas, difficulties and joys, so we can be the best at what we are doing. We understand that due to the nature of caregiving, there may be times you cannot make it or have to leave early.
Please contact Ruth Debra, ruthdebra@icloud.com, if you’d like to participate.
