    Coming up on November 3rd...we are especially inviting our new forum members, and any forum members who haven't previously attended a Zoom meeting, to a "Meet and Greet" where there will be time to meet fellow forum members and to ask questions about the forum and Epicurean philosophy.

    Cassius will be on hand to facilitate the meeting. Established members are also invited to come and meet new members!

    We hold this meeting on an "as needed basis," so we ask that all members please RSVP. The meeting will only be held if at least one new member indicates they are available.

    Level 02 and 03: please RSVP here in this thread.

    Level 01 members: please post in your Welcome thread that you would like to attend or message Cassius using the "conversations" feature.

    Hope to see you there! :)

    Thanks Kalosyni, and just FYI and FWIW we usually plan our meetings to last no more than an hour. If you can only make part of the meeting that's fine too, and that goes for both any new people and our regulars.

    MarkJW to you or anyone else who is not in an American time zone, we'll work to set up another more suitable time to accomplish the same thing. If anyone else has a time zone issue please let us know.

    Paging Kalosyni and Cassius to ensure they know.

    Looks like at the moment that we don't have any RSVP's for tomorrow night, and now we have the additional factor that Kalosyni is not feeling well. For that reason it's looking very unlikely that we will have a session tomorrow night (November 3, 2025). If anyone was waiting to the last minute to say that they'd like to come let us know and we'll come up with a substitute plan.

    I just verified with Cassius that the First Monday Meet and Greet Zoom for tonight is officially canceled. We hold the meeting on an as-needed basis for new members. We will set up another as soon as we have the need, so anyone with interest or questions regarding attendance please message Cassius or myself.

    (btw...I am feeling mostly better today, but not quite 100 percent yet).
