2021 Screening Schedule


We were really hoping we could have our physical screenings this year but sadly, the Delta variant of covid is still spreading in Florida and now so few people are wearing masks so we don't feel safe holding a live event since we can't tell who is really vaccinated or not plus when you try to check vaccine status or ask everyone to wear masks, violence can break out. Thus, we're going to have an online screening again starting at 11am US Eastern Time on Saturday, October 9th, using Zoom like we did last year (we're paying for Pro, they have security encryption, viewers can chat via text while watching, the program is free and convenient for people, etc.).
