Due to the lack of meeting attendance, I have decided to discontinue posting the monthly lessons.
The 1997 Archive will still be available (see below). I know this will affect those who are unable to
attend meetings, but I feel it is necessary in order to increase meeting attendance.
Sorry for any inconvenience I have caused.
