MONTHLY MEETINGS:
Coastal Dunes CWC is thrilled to announce the resumption of our monthly meetings, now held in person at the Nipomo Library. As we gather once again, we want to inform our members that Zoom access will no longer be available for every meeting. However, we will still provide the option for Zoom participation when our esteemed speakers cannot join us in person.
To ensure that everyone stays informed, we will diligently update the Events Page and the Home Page of our website to reflect the upcoming meetings.
Where: Community Room, Nipomo Library, 918 West Tefft Street, Nipomo, CA
