Program Description
Sam Marwit will share his personal story and reluctance to ask Seacoast Village for help recently when he and his wife got COVID. He will also provide some background information that includes limited research on this topic. After this opening, we hope others will share their experiences and engage in a thoughtful discussion.  This is an important topic for all of us to discuss.
