Apparently due to unforeseen circumstances this session has been postponed to April 20. If you had registered for last night you do not need to register again for the revised date of April 20 (OCC will do that for you) and the zoom details will stay the same – the only change is the date. Please accept OCC's apology for the inconvenience.0
