Note: The Board Director of the Philadelphia Section has decided to have devote the first Monday of every month to Group Meetings. When holidays occur, there will be not group meetings for that month. This is to avoid conflicts with other Section events as well as to have a firm date for planning. This will also better enable long term planning for participants. (RDC 6/30/2010)

* There is no formal talk only conversation. However, this will be a central focus since everyone in concerned about their future these troubling days. (RDC)

Any SPE member interested is invited no matter where they live. Members are encouraged to bring special guests. If so please let RDC know so he can add the name and information to the announcement.

To aid in the food and drink logistics, every attendee is asked to contribute $10 for one drink and snacks. If they want more or have dinner, they are on their own.
