CORRECTION AND TOPIC CHANGE

Hi Friends,

Two corrections need to be made to the latest information about the March meetup.

First, an e-mail went out while I was on vacation that gave the wrong date for the next meetup, due to a glitch on the meetup.com Website. The correct date and time are this Sunday, March 22 at 12:30 pm at St. Nicholas Episcopal Church in Elk Grove Village.

Second, the agenda we had been planning has had to be postponed due to some scheduling conflicts. For this reason, we've moved the topic for April up a month and are offering it in March. We will be joined by Jeanette Repp, a dear friend, who is a black belt in karate and an Episcopal priest (and the mother of two beautiful twin girls). The description of the session is provided below.

I hope to see everyone there. It should be an amazing session!

Peace,
ethan.
