Let's have dinner together and chat in our Zoom meeting room. We meet in front of our own computer or tablet screens in our own homes.

In the Zoom meeting room, you will see your friends, have a glass of wine, enjoy your dinner, and chat with other TVIH members.

Discussion Topic of the week:

Which statues need to be removed?
