[nesfa-reading-group] “The King of Elfland’s Daughter”: Reading Group on 2/2/2024

[David G. Grubbs]

Rick Kovalcik will be sending out the link for 7PM reading group server.

The reason for that is that we have a 6PM meeting about Boskone events at
6PM that evening. Rick will switch over to the reading group server link
and make me a co-host.

So Wes (and Louis, and Gloria), you don't have to touch the Zoom server for
the reading group.

See you all then.
