Speakers

Missing interaction during Wednesday meetings? Your S&S Committee has arranged to have some “Chat” sessions in place of a speaker, about every month, well, with you. Table Chats will see us broken into random tables (rooms) of 6. Each table will have an S&S facilitator introducing important topics like “what’s the worst job you’ve ever had?”.  Or “What was fun about where I grew up??  The idea is getting to know each other a little better while having 10 minutes of fun during the meeting. 

This meeting will take place Tuesday evening and replaces the regular Wednesday meeting June 23rd.

This meeting replaced by evening meeting June 22nd.
