October 2009 Cohort Meeting Update-
Due to scheduling conflicts, etc., this month’s cohort meeting is being canceled. Hopefully everyone can make it out in November. Stay tuned to the site for details on that meeting.
Hello everyone,
This month’s cohort meeting is coming up quickly. We’ll be meeting this Friday, October 16, 2009 at 7pm. We need to change venues again (but are very grateful to Gregg and Westminster Presbyterian for hosting us for the past few months), and so we’ll be trying out Mariachi Loco’s again in the South Akron area. It’s at 3430 S Arlington Rd, Akron, OH - (330) 245-1373. As for our topic, please come with ideas and suggestions of your own. We’re an open group, and I’d be happy to see us talk about something that you all bring. If we struggle for ideas, though, I’ll share this post I found at Jeremy Berg’s blog, via Jesus Creed, entitled The Dark Side of Personal Application. You can find it here. Perhaps this will stir some thoughts for our conversation on Friday.
Let me say this again too: As you may know, the H1N1 flu is spreading quickly and is now widespread in OH and much of the nation. For many people, it’s a mild illness, but for some, it can be deadly, and there has been a spike in pediatric flu deaths over the past week to prove it. So, until the vaccine is ready and folks have gotten it, “social distancing” is one of the primary deterrents to the spread of the flu. So please, if you or a family member have “flu-like illness-” coughing, sneezing, fever, body aches, and with H1N1 some reports of vomiting or diarrhea, please don’t come. We really want you to be there, but we don’t want to spread H1N1 around. I say this especially because my son is one of those “high-risk” people who could get very, very sick or even die from it. Okay, my Public Service Announcement is over, and I hope to see you on Friday!
