8-22 Study Group Meeting

Raj and Debra met at Starbucks. We decided not to have anyone else join us since we have covered up through chapter 5 and have a momentum going. The next meeting will be Wednesday, August 25th at 8 pm. We will cover chapter 6, Time Management. We won't meet on Sunday, August 29th.
