 2021 Annual Events


2021 Reading Group Meetings and Special Events

All meetings will be held on Zoom until it is safe to meet together again. In-person special events are TENTATIVE. Once we are able to meet in person again, the following general information will apply again.

Nonmembers are welcome to attend up to three of our meetings before deciding whether to continue attending by joining JASNA.
 
To RSVP, or for more information about the reading group, please e-mail our Regional Co-Coordinators, Marcia Hamley and Margaret Christmann, at jasna.orswwa@gmail.com. Also, if possible, bring something for the tea table.
 
The reading group meets five times each year: January, March, July, September, and November. Regular meetings (left column) are held at 1:00 p.m. on the second Sunday of the month, unless otherwise noted. There is an additional Spring Tea held in May, and this year we hope to hold two more special events (right column). We look forward to seeing you!
