CHV staff will remain available by phone and e-mail Monday through Friday, 9 am – 5 pm, and after hours for emergencies, just as we have been doing; your Sector Captains and Co-Captains will be staying in touch as you’ve requested; and we will continue to provide as much virtual programming as we can.
