As a chapter coordinator for American Pilgrims on the Camino, I help plan and organize events. Due to the Coronavirus situation, our chapter has held virtual events with Zoom presentations and meetups since March 2020.  These events are announced through our chapter email list,  our Google Doc, and listed on our Facebook Group Announcements.  Finalized events can be found on the American Pilgrims on the Camino Calendar. 

The events below are postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus/COVID-19 situation. When we’re clear to hold physical events again, I’ll update this information.
