Planning Meeting for 2025/2026

As it was this year, we will continue to meet at Edina Morningside Community Church, with Zoom always an option for those unable to attend in person.  The one exception being the December meeting, which will be a holiday inspired gathering graciously hosted by Jill at her home. Debbi will review her book at that time.
