Decisions for how we'll operate for the coming year
- We'll start talking about the book at 6:50. Karen will be our primary clock-watcher.
- Ghost-leaving is completely acceptable behavior.
- We'll all aspire to come to meetings with a question or a quote or some other contribution for the discussion each time.
- If you cannot make it, please RSVP to the host
