Where's My Zoom Link?!
Join instructor Isabel Raci, C-IAYT, online for a gentle session of guided meditation and chair yoga. (Online)
Some email programs do not recognize the Zoom link sent in the reminder emails, so it will not be underlined and in blue (hyperlinked). If this happens, simply highlight the text that starts with https:// and copy (Ctrl+C) and paste it (Ctrl+V) in the web address bar of your browser. If you don't see an https: address, chat with us at fremontlibrary.org and we'll send you the link. We're happy to help!
