How do things look for someone starting the reading group tomorrow. If Dave G can arrange for the proper information to be sent to me, I think I could start it.<br>
I might be late though. <br>

You may not be on the mailing list it sends to. I think I still am, so we could work together.<br>
<br>
Or I could start my own server again.<br>

Hello Dave;<br>
<br>
First of all, we all hope things go well with the operation.<br>
<br>
I used to be able to start Zoom meetings with the NESFA Zoom account using the email+login and password thatRiKOV mailed out on 29 July 2021. Recently, when I have tried to do that it seemed to send a secret code to that email address, which I cannot read from, or otherwise ask me for a code I did not have.<br>

Yes, as we discussed at the last meeting, three of us will each offer three books to be voted on for the next three months:<br>
<br>
* Liz Patton will offer three for April<br>
* Shelly Thomas will offer three for May<br>
* I (David G. Grubbs) will offer three for June<br>
<br>
I'm hoping to be able to Zoom by June. I will be operated on at 5:15AM on March 13, with an order not to sit in the front seat of a car for six weeks after that. I have no idea what kind of shape I'll be in. I'm planning to read the June book (that I suggest and you vote on at our next meeting) in the next few weeks.<br>
<br>
When I talked to him a few weeks ago, Louis implied that he would be there. It is not auspicious that the front-page "News" section of the NESFA website still announces that we will next be meeting on December 8th to talk about Sourdough.<br>
<br>
If Louis is not available, I can start the NESFA Zoom server or offer my own Zoom server again. That will work for February and March. For April, likely for May, and possibly for June, I will talk to the President of NESFA about finding a backup to run the Reading Group.<br>
<br>
2024-02-02 (or 2/2/24, or Feb 2, 2024) is our meeting date. It is Groundhog Day. In a leap year. I found 2/2/22 or 2/2/2 (2002-02-02) more interesting patterns of numbers.<br>

Good evening 👋🏻<br>
<br>
Quick check in:<br>
<br>
1) Will we be voting on the April, May, and June reading selections?<br>
<br>
2) Will Louis be available to run the group this month?<br>
<br>
3) Cool numbers in our meeting date.<br>
<br>
