If you attend, please read the short story beforehand and be ready to join the conversation. Please, take this seriously: IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE TEXT OR DON’T WANT TO CONTRIBUTE AN OPINION, please do not show up. Also, any problem on the day of the meeting to log in, please leave a message in the comment section. I usually check if anybody is having any issues.

If for any reason you cannot attend the meeting, please remember to change your RSVP as soon you realise you won’t be able to attend. That will give time to the following person in the waiting list to read the short story and organize their day.

I hope we all will enjoy this short story and the discussion!

Kind regards,

Rosaura
