Please note that because this meeting is being held in a restaurant, food and adult beverage of your choice will be available for purchase. To allow our speakers to be uninterrupted, let's do food service early, say until 7:15 or so. Because we must vacate the room at 9:00 PM, we can always eat later, downstairs. Some of us will always stay late. We can't stop sharing our Humanist Philosophy. Hoping to see you soon!
