Summer of 2021 marked the return of live training at METTC, suspended because of the COVID lockdown. It was a very fulfilling and exhilarating experience for staff and adult learners alike to be interacting face-to-face. Personal safety and health precautions were a major concern. Everyone attending had been vaccinated and observed CDC guidelines. There were no cases of infection.

There were three cohorts, some of whom began last year on Zoom. They met for the first time this summer away from the online world and developed into a vibrant community. The schedules were full and challenging, but as the feedback shows, well worth the effort.
