What helps us plan

When you write, it helps to include:

  • Your group's name and about how many people may come.
  • A few dates and times that work for you.
  • The room: its size, and whether it has a screen or a microphone.
  • The language your group prefers.
  • Any rules for outside speakers, such as insurance or a background check.
