| Meets: |
ThyCa Washington, DC meets the third Saturday of each month from 10:30 AM to noon.
ThyCa remains cautious due to the evolving COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation.
We do expect some support group meeting sites to begin opening for in-person
meetings. We realize not all locations will open for the foreseeable future.
As such, ThyCa will continue to hold virtual meetings. We encourage all
support group members to be careful and stay safe.
Please take care of yourself. We suggest that you
follow the precautions recommended by your local health agencies and the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
