Change in normal date and location!

Our friends at the North Canton Public Library have a temporary library location while their normal space undergoes an exciting renovation. Our group that normally meets there on the second Monday of the month will meet at this temporary location for the immediate future.

And for this month only, we will meet on the first Monday of the month. Join us on October 5th for a presentation from Tina White of EXP realty about downsizing. See address below.
