<DIV>Saludos a todos:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm going to write this in English for clarity and brevity:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have made it safely to Mexico and I am now on-line daily. I will
continue to organize the tertulias, but in order to do that, I need help on
your end to ask for the next host at each tertulia and agree upon a
date.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That same week, the upcoming host needs to:</DIV>
<DIV>1. advise me of the upcoming date</DIV>
<DIV>2. send me directions to her/his house (for new hosts; I have a file
for many of the hosts to date)</DIV>
<DIV>3. include contact info and RSVP preferences and</DIV>
<DIV>4. let me know if s/he needs help finding a reading selection </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>At least a week before the tertulia, I need to have the reading material
(link, PDF or word doc) so I can send the announcement to the group.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We were on the road until the 24th and then in the middle of unpacking this
past week so it took me a bit to realize that I hadn't heard from anyone about
an upcoming tertulia for this week.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am assuming that as no one has contacted me since the last tertulia on
Nov 18th that there was no one available to host a tertulia for this week.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there anyone available to host an upcoming tertulia, for example Dec 8,
9, 15 or 16? Do people want to take a break during December due to
holidays? Perhaps get back on a regular bi-weekly schedule in
January? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope you are all well and I look forward to remaining in contact.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hasta pronto,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
