Last Meeting: May 21, 2020

About 15-20 people joined for this meeting. At this meeting we enjoyed songs, poetry recital, jokes, along with discussion of issues arising from COVID-19. Ram Sahi made a presentation on India' stimulus package to deal with economic impact of COVID-19.


This Meeting: May 28, 2020

In the past, on the last Thursday of the month, we have been celebrating birthdays of our members born in that month. We lost that practice since our meetings have been virtual. So, this Thursday, we will recognize people born in the months of March (Vinod and Shanta), April (Vijay Kapal, Janak, Parshotam, and Pritam), and May (Anil Gupta, Joya, Kamla andusha Uppal).

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

At 3 PM, Mahmood Iqbal will be making a presentation on De-Growth, a new way of thinking about economic development to deal with the challenges of limited resources and increasing demand.

Please let me know well in advance, if you would like to make a presentation on some topic of common interest.
