Aloria is a cultural club which is highly influenced by the concept of Bushido, or the "Way of the Warrior" that Samurai were notorious for revering. In these regards you can often see the same qualities reflected in Alorian culture via how we interact with the world and by where and when we meet. Quality, self control, personal improvement, and other such themes are a constant. We will be meeting on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, times and events will be posted in advance as well …

     If you are an educator and would like to connect with other educators for fun and social events...then this would be for you.

… I know a lot of people do this book solo (I did the first 3 times) and I also know having community as we do so is powerful. Would this be a way to combine the two? Meetup INc. recommends that organizers charge $10- $20 each session, which I haven't been doing. When I facilitate groups I have learned that free or discounts never work. People struggle to get through the material when I have done that. When people pay the full fee, they do better and finish the book. Maybe this is true for Meetup …

I absolutely LOVE Desperate Housewives, and I'm really sad that it is in its final season. So much has happened to all of the women on Wisteria Lane, and I have actually forgotten tons of it!

I have seasons 3 and 6 on dvd, and many others are available online. Let's see how many of us DH fans there are here in Napa! This could be a one time thin …
