First Meeting To Come

Just a quick note. I've been a little preoccupied with life as of late, (never sign up for Facebook if you have time issues... it is a time bandit for me.) I had intended to hold the first group meeting this month and Peter and I were aiming for October 26th. I do not at this time believe that I can pull this feat off.

We have decided to take a friend's advice and I contacted David Shimek about about meeting at Metro Books and Music. He was; I found, a wonderful and considerate person who agreed that we could meet at his store as a group. It appears that Saturdays are our best bet for regular meetings. I will proceed with Metro Books and Music as our meeting place once I get myself in order.

If you have a chance, please drop by his business and thank him for his generosity. As for me; a bronx cheer might be in order due to the delays I have now caused. Be aware that a Bronx cheer is something you'll want to do in person. To do that of course you'll have to come to the meeting when I and Peter finally set a date.

As to the format and topic for the first meeting I propose what I originally proposed: America: Free Country or Christian Nation? Format can be a bit more tricky. I intend to moderate all meetings, so if you ever attended one of the "Socrates Cafe" meetings a few years back you'll no doubt recall that thoughtful discourse and debate can be done in a respectful manner. These meetings will NOT be an opportunity to call people names or shout and curse at those who don't share your views.

That being said, please await with or without baited breath the pending announcement for the first meeting.
