ACT Chats
I offer the first ACT Chat on Thu 25th of Feb 2021:
Time: 6:30pm – 7:15pm (might go to 7:30pm)
How to participate:
- Please email me an ACT question you have – OR
- Email me to indicate that you would like to participate
I will take about 6-8 people to join:
- Those people with an ACT question will get first preference
- Those that would just like to join in will be accepted on a first come first served basis, (however the people with a question will get preference!)
- If we have no question to answer, I will select an ACT topic that we will discuss.
Best wishes to you all,
