Introduction

Hi. I met Monique at an Alvin Ailey performance last night and heard about this terrific Web site. This is my first time here, so I'm not that familiar with it yet, but will write more here after I have a chance to explore it.

A) What do you want to get out of this group? (Specifics will help us get there.)
