	Sunday, May 7, 4:30pm: North County Gathering Catch Up at Fresh Catch. Let's catch up with old friends and meet new ones at Fresh Catch in Stuart, 1411 SE Indian Street Stuart, FL 34997. It's been a long time. Our lovely Treasurer is expected! Happy Hour is 3 to 6 PM! Plenty of seafood platters, sandwiches and tacos, steak and chicken.

	Monday, May 8, 5:30pm: Movable Feast at Eathai, 1832 S. Federal Highway, Delray Beach (561-270-3156) . Hip, modern Thai restaurant with many starters and entrees, a la carte and tasting menus, lots of vegetarian options, and full bar. It's just south of Linton Blvd. If my problem with MeetUp hasn't been solved, RSVPs can to go to Amy Shaughnessy at aesdth@yahoo.com or at 561-352-9245.
	Thursday, May 11, 6:00pm: Virtual Happy Hour to Discuss Books. This month's selection for the Zoom meeting is "Born in Blackness: Africa, Africans, and the Making of the Modern World, 1471 to the Second World War", by Howard W. French. I proposed this book after reading an intriguing mention of it as a reframing of the story of medieval and emerging Africa - that Europe's "Age of Discovery" wasn't powered by the search for ties with Asia but in pursuit of trade in gold with the legendarily rich Black societies of West Africa. We'll probably also talk about last month's "The Measure: A Novel"and some suggestions for future books - fiction and nonfiction - to read and discuss. Meeting ID: 858 0295 0276, Passcode: happy (Zoom link). If my problem with MeetUp hasn't been solved, RSVPs can to go to Amy Shaughnessy at aesdth@yahoo.com or at 561-352-9245.
