February is Black History Month
On Thursday February 9th we were fortunate to have as our guest speaker Itah Sadu. Yes, she is a storyteller and had us spellbound throughout her talk. She is knowledgeable and thought-provoking.
 
As we move to post-pandemic, getting out to meetings becomes more important for us. The Program committee is doing a fabulous job of keeping our meetings vibrant.
 
Note that we are testing out alternative meeting times, rotating from Wednesday dinners to Thursday and Friday lunches. Check our calendar on our website which is getting updated regularly.
