The core of Michael, Jim, Beth, Christina, Peggy and Linda reported on the books they’ve read. Shayne came online late and had to leave early, so we never heard what he had been reading. Non-book topics included Daylight Savings Time, The Odyssey - Homer - translated...
We had another new member join us this month, Lisa, from Garden City. She moved to the area from the Denver region due to housing costs and is currently volunteering with Respect MO Voters and Smart Elections to keep democracy afloat. We also saw Shayne again after a...
Beth, Linda, Jim, Michael, and Peggy joined us for some pleasant conversation this month. Christina had some Zoom problems, so couldn’t join us, but did provide a list of the books she has been reading. I also heard from Tamara, who we haven’t seen in a while. She...
