We always feel so fortunate for the opportunity to experience a live bouquet of vantage points (people) who gather and present for us; for what we learn, and how we grow; as well as witnessing the appreciation of the panellists sharing with one another, and the the audience members. After the first hour of formal presentation, there will be time for questions and comments, and then time for casual conversation before the Library closes at 9 pm. Please do come and join us if you can!
