Last Thursday Meeting: July 30, 2020

About 20 people joined for this meeting. We celebrated birthdays of the members born in the month of July. In addition to the songs and jokes, we had a presentation by Mahmood on China - A Contrarian View. True to its title, it generated a lot of interesting discussion.


This Thursday Meeting: Aug. 6, 2020

We will have our usual songs and poetry recital.

Based on a recent article in The Globe and Mail, Amrit will make a short (5 minutes) presentation on the effectiveness of the masks.

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

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