[nesfa-reading-group] Opinions on postponing July and August meetings by one week.

[tracy at windweaver.com]

I don't attend regularly - 4-5 times a year at most, am very selective 
about books I read and am in seven books clubs, which I also attend 
irregularly.

But the second Friday of the month is fine with me. I go to an online a 
creative writing group the third Friday of every month, but the second 
Friday is open.

It does make sense to skip July 4th, which is likely to contribute to a 
long summer weekend for many people...And August is always an "iffy" 
month for attendance anyway since so many people take vacations then.

Will be there for the early March meeting.
