Dear Friends,
Welcome to the beginning of the second quarter of our 21st century!
Here is the Schedule for the Section Zoom meetings that originate in Northern California, Fair Oaks.
Meetings start at 7 pm Pacific — with one exception this year when Christiane Haid will join us for a presentation on the Mystery Dramas by Rudolf Steiner. Meetings last one hour.
Keep an eye on this website page for changes, including the possible addition of in-person meetings locally or in San Francisco.
Meetings occur on Zoom unless otherwise noted. Zoom credentials are sent to Section friends, Section members, and interested persons on the Friday before the meeting.
