Benefits of CVGS Membership
NOTE: During the Covid-19 Pandemic the "in-person" group programs listed below will be held virtually on Zoom. When the Thousand Oaks Library receives notice that it is safe to open the meeting rooms for public use, meetings will resume in the library. A CVGS committee is exploring the possibility of holding all meetings as hybrids (virtual plus in-person) as we move into the post-pandemic period.
