Atlas Shrugged Study Group in San Francisco

Hello Golden Gate Objectivists,

We are happy to announce that we have found a leader for a regular GGO study group. Faye Cheadle will be starting up a study group in San Francisco, and is inviting all GGO members to attend. The first book to discuss will be Atlas Shrugged, and the study group will take place on a weeknight (7 pm) in San Francisco. Faye will collect interest via e-mail (e-mail to goldengateobjectivists[at]gmail[dot]com, and we will forward to Faye) and will then coordinate the best location and schedule for those interested.

If you are interested in participating, please e-mail Faye by October 4th, so she can collect the interest and get things going soon.

Thanks, Faye, for heading up this effort!

GGO Napa Trip - RSVP requested

Hello Everyone,
on October the 3rd we will be hosting a GGO social trip to Napa. Please RSVP (to Caroline directly, if you got her e-mail; otherwise, to sign up for e-mails and to RSVP, you can e-mail GGO at goldengateobjectivists[at]gmail[dot]com) and tell us if you are either definitely attending or maybe attending as rough numbers will help us with the planning. Also, please note if you are interested in car pooling (as a driver or passenger) and I will help put you in touch with others that also wish to car pool.

The agenda will most likely start with driving up the valley and doing some sight seeing. For example, we will probably visit the culinary institute set in an old monastery. Then we will drive down the Silverado Trail, stopping for lunch along the way. We will drive back to downtown Napa for a walking wine tasting tour so that people who are driving can do some tasting too. Then we will visit the Cordair Gallery and perhaps stop for dinner somewhere if there interest.

We hope you can make it.

Caroline and Heike
