Every month
The gathering that holds the year together

The evening runs in order: introductions, a talk from an influential speaker, a practical workshop, two member business presentations, a self-help session, then games and dinner.
Workshops are hands-on — product demonstrations, banking and financial help, legal counsel, personal safety, grooming, health, yoga, and meditation.
