Today's topic: The Work Luminus (a local nonprofit) Is Doing with Afghan Refugees

Current estimates suggest that 95,000 Afghans who were evacuated from their country will find their way to residency in the U.S. and need help from programs like the Afghan Alliance of the Luminus Network for New Americans (formerly FIRN). Countless people in Howard County have wanted to help but are unsure where to begin. A representative from Luminus will explain how they are helping newly-arrived Afghan families and how we and TVIH might partner with them in these efforts.

Come to join us for our “Good Morning, Howard!”  zoom group.  We will be following the new schedule as listed below:

Wednesday at 9:00 AM

Please Note: Good Morning, Howard will be on hiatus in July and August and will return in September.


Our goal is to provide Howard County residents an opportunity to come together in a relaxed atmosphere, to meet with others, and to participate in the discussion/activities of Health and Wellness. Our content may include using technology to connect with family and friends, gardening, exercise, music, movies, jokes, popular websites, and healthy diet.

Participation is easy because driving is not required. This social program is for TVIH members and older adults from Howard County. 

Volunteers (TVIH members) will take turns to serve as the hosts of the GMH zoom meetings. The hosts will greet the participants, make introductions, and give the feedback/suggestions back to the membership committee.

Most people will join by using their computer, tablet or smartphone. To join, you need a zoom meeting link. The link will be emailed to you after you register. 

To Join Zoom Meeting by using a smartphone, dial 1-929-205-6099. You will be prompted to enter the meeting ID and the password.  If you are prompted to enter a personal ID, simply press the # sign.

The person using a phone can hear everyone and can talk.  He/she cannot be seen on other people’s screens.
