Build Your QuaraTEAM
Gather your friends—virtually—for some fun.
As the days in our national quarantine continue, we’re looking for ways to stay content and productive while connecting with the people we love. One solution? We’re building our QuaranTEAM! It’s simple: Gather your circle of friends and have each one pick a skill they can teach to the group over video chat. They don’t need to be experts, just willing to share their hobbies. Set up video conference calls once a week and get ready to learn from those you love! Here are a few QuaranTEAM MVPs we’re drafting, and the supplies we’re readying for their lessons. You’ll find most already in your home or available for a low price at Gabe’s.
