Here are some photos from this morning’s group meeting. The afternoon session will start with separate sessions: one for those “Over 30” and the other is for those “Under 30.” And then the “Over 30” group is limited to 30 seconds to speak…Interesting.
Anyway here are some photos. I also did video and I’ll post when I get home. Thx for tuning in!
