COVID-19 Pandemic Strangeness Easing:
In-person events are returning, but virtual events may be here to stay, since we have discovered how useful they can be. Therefore, this Events calendar will maintain its reorganization into 3 tables. The first table is of in-person events. For any live events, be sure to practice social distancing and have masks handy to put on at a moments notice, if needed. The second table is of virtual events that have not yet happened, as of the time of their posting here. The third table is of past virtual events for which recordings are available.
