“I attended the November gathering and marveled at the genuineness, unpretentiousness, and openness of the 40+ (mostly strangers to one another) people in attendance.  It was a day that stirred both my heart and intellect.  I hope you can make it on 3/7.  I guarantee you won't be disappointed by the people, activities, and connections.”  Claudette Blagsvedt
