Susan R.Enjoyed meeting new people and the guest speaker definitely enlightened me about a topic of which I knew nothing (the Freedom Party).

John ManuelI was pleasantly surprised that there was, in fact, no blaspheming as such during the meeting. I would not have enjoyed that. While there was criticism, it was mostly constructive and respectful. The guest speaker was was organized and well prepared.
