It would be nice if this met sometime other than during lunch. Difficult for a lot of us who work, particularly if you use mass transit.
ReplyDeletePlease consider an evening or weekend time.
I completly agree with Lorlee.
ReplyDeleteEvery month, as I learn which book or idea is to be discussed, I wish I could be there. Unfortunatly,as a DISD schoolteacher, that would mean taking the entire day off to attend and that wouldn't be fair to my students.
An evening or weekend time would give those of us who work a chance to attend also.
Thanks for all you do.
I hope to be able to participate in the future.
