Join us to discuss queer books! For our next book, we will be reading **“Sisters of the Forsaken Stars”,** the second book of the series *Our Lady of Endless Worlds* by **Lina Rather**. **Blurb:** **The sisters of the Order of Saint Rita navigate the far reaches of space and challenges of faith in *Sisters of the Forsaken Stars*, the follow-up to Lina Rather's *Sisters of the Vast Black*, winner of the Golden Crown Literary Society Award.** *“We lit the spark, maybe we should be here for the flames.”* Not long ago, Earth’s colonies and space stations threw off the yoke of planet Earth’s tyrannical rule. Decades later, trouble is brewing in the Four Systems, and Old Earth is flexing its power in a bid to regain control over its lost territories. The Order of Saint Rita―whose mission is to provide aid and mercy to those in need―bore witness to and defied Central Governance’s atrocities on the remote planet Phyosonga III. The sisters have been running ever since, staying under the radar while still trying to honor their calling. Despite the sisters’ secrecy, the story of their defiance is spreading like wildfire, spearheaded by a growing anti-Earth religious movement calling for revolution. Faced with staying silent or speaking up, the Order of Saint Rita must decide the role they will play―and what hand they will have―in reshaping the galaxy. **The Plan** 19:00 Meeting @ the venue 19:15 Discussion 20:45 Choosing a book for August 21:00 End **Dinner** The venue will be announced in the WhatsApp group chat. **What to do** 1\.

Join us for an immersive ecological excursion to the Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve, a premier biodiversity hotspot nestled just north of Fung Yuen Lau Wai. Spanning approximately 42 hectares of protected conservation land, this vibrant valley is a sanctuary for an incredible array of butterfly species and native wildlife. We have organised a booking for 20 attendees for the 2-2.5hr Nature and Cultural Centre and Butterfly Reserve. HK Natural History Society Registered Members will get priority for these spots. The fee includes the instructor fee and admission to Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve. The Highlights: * Diverse Ecosystems: walking trails that wind through rich, varied habitats, each offering a unique glimpse into Hong Kong's thriving local flora and fauna. * A Photographer Paradise: As one of the region's most celebrated butterfly-watching locations, you'll have unparalleled opportunities for macro photography and rare species sightings. * Note: This guided tour is tailored specifically for our members to deepen their understanding of local conservation efforts. Spaces are limited to ensure a high-quality, low-impact experience for the environment.

More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###
