Thank you to Ethos for enhancing my physical and mental health this past year

Thank you to Ethos for enhancing my physical and mental health this past year. The smooth transition you made to zoom allowed me to not feel so isolated. I took advantage and put to good use many of the classes Ethos was offering: Bingocize, the exercise challenges, memory training, Special Guest Fridays, etc. I looked forward to turning on my laptop each and every time!
