Great Meeting
Hi everyone!
Thanks to everyone who attended last night's meeting. I personally enjoyed hearing you all share your ideas and discuss the book and I hope you did too. Of course I forgot to sort out the blog situation, but I have changed the restrictions so anyone could comment at this point. Just be sure to put your name in the post if you're writing as an Anonymous user.
Now that you're getting into the book and we're bringing up a variety of topics in our meetings, feel free to post things here. All those great YouTube videos and news articles mentioned last night would be prime candidates for a blog posting. In your daily activities, if you come across anything that piques your interest, throw it up here and see what everyone thinks.
Also, if you still have some comments you would like to share that we didn't get to last night, feel free to write them here, too.
And last but not least, if you have any suggestions for the format of our next meeting, feel free to post it here or send me an email. Remember, this is YOUR book club.
Oh and one more thing, next meeting will be Tuesday, November 29, time TBD. Keep an eye out for a set time, but mark your calendars!
Thanks everyone!
