September 19th Meeting

September 19th Authors & Ideas will say goodbye to our sponsor and supporter Vera Nicholas who is retiring.

In her honor we will be reading "Oh, The Places You Will Go" by Dr. Seuss and taking a look back on the reading we have done in the last 5 years.

Take a look at our old reading lists and see how many you remember?

Simple Conversations...Conversations

Here is an excellent recap of how to start a conversation. We will be using this format for our discussion on November 15th.

How to start a conversation

Just a few of our questions will be:

1. What brings you here today?
2. What is it that we need to be talking about?
3. What is possible for us to accomplish?
4. Where can you apply simple conversations?

I'll post more as they develop before our discussion and as a result of our discussion.
