The topic is a starting point. What does it mean to put ourselves first?

We meet every Thursday at 6:30 unless otherwise notified on MeetUp.
Although the location is published and consistent, we also notify on Reddit and use an email distribution for ongoing members. We request that everyone RSVP via MeetUp.

We have a yearly voluntary fee of $10-$15 that can be paid in cash or Venmo (Carlos Rodriguez @cjr3525, https://venmo.com/code?user_id=4123962225198370153&created=1734624260). We do not keep track of membership payment status.
