The books are kept in storage between programs

by the Book Store Coordinator.
- After programs, unpack items and note differences
between "out" and "in" and reshelve items.

Study Group Team (SGT)
The purpose of the SGT is to create & nurture
existing Study Groups. Most business is conducted electronically
(email, Bulletin Board) although we meet at least once yearly
in Davis.
Meeting Places Needed: There are people
who would like a Study Group but need a place to meet: in your
home, your office, your library, your church, or some other
place? Would you help us coordinate the first meeting of interested
people? Whether a Study Group develops depends on the willingness
of those present to share leadership responsibilities.
Interest for Study Groups has been expressed
in the following Northern California sites: Rocklin, Monterey,
San Jose and Lodi/Stockton. We also serve Northern
Nevada.
We can help you arrange a Study Group in your
area.
