Please join us for these two remaining historical Zoom programs, presented by Jeffrey Urbin, an educational specialist at the Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park. NY. Those who attended these sessions last year found them most informative and enjoyable. We were equally as pleased with our first class this January. To attend you must register by following the links below. Each one must be done separately. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email from Swinka Richards (NYSUT Program and Retiree Services) containing information about joining the meeting. If you have registered, you will receive an email reminder from Swinka Richards including the link the week of the program.
