HAGP program meetings are an opportunity for group members to come together with each other; become educated on a topic by hearing from a speaker; or discuss issues and explore ideas. Our monthly speakers cover a wide variety of subjects. Speakers have come from all the the Delaware Valley, many US states, and even abroad.
When and Where: Program meetings are last Sundays from 1:30pm-4pm at the Upper Moreland Library in Willow Grove. There are no program meetings in July and August due to a seasonal change in library hours.
