Fourty five club members were able to join our FB live stream on Friday 20-Mar-2020 to listen to a lecture by Dr. Melnik, MD, fully dedicated to Coronavirus, with a special focus on the situation in Minnesota. Dr. Melnik has lectured for about 45 minutes describing the disease, its origins, myths associated with the pandemic and more, and then took over 30 minutes to respond to multiple questions in live session. MMWC is very grateful to Tatyana Melnik for her dedication in combining the slides for lecture and the time spent to address people's concerns. We are hoping to repeat sessions on this topic depending on how COVID- 19 situation is going to evolve. Please stay safe and healthy!

The lecture recording remains available on the event FB page, so unlimited number of woman still have an opportunity to watch the recording.  Expert in the field of online security, Yan Kravchenko, did an amazing job speaking about protection of the family against online threats, touched on the difficult topics, like sex trafficking, discussed the importance of online security talks with kids, described different technologies allowing online tracking and more. Club administration is very grateful to Yan for his time and efforts to talk about this important topic.
