The session begins at 7:00 p.m. promptly.  Sign-in sheets should be completed by this time to receive credit for the evening.  A short break is offered from 7:55 – 8:05, before the session continues from 8:06 - 9:00 p.m.

 

Occasionally, there is more than one topic per evening.  Time will be divided by the speaker(s) at their discretion.

An evaluation is available each evening.  Please take the time to complete this short form (your name is optional).  You may take it with you and return it the following week.  It does provide valuable information to the speaker and the program planners.
