4. Meeting, Last Thursday: Sept. 17, 2020

About 15 people joined for this meeting, and we enjoyed songs and jokes by various members. Amrit made a very interesting presentation about how the health of the micro biomes in the intestine can affect various biological function in the body, and what can be done to improve it.

5. Meeting, This Thursday: Sept. 24, 2020

This will be our usual meeting with songs and poetry recital etc. Invariably, there will be some questions and discussion about how coronavirus could affect our lives in the months, and perhaps years, to come.
