Hi Jeanine
Does that group still meet? I live close to WPU. That was a very well organized group to have recorded the event. Please, let us know more.

I had belonged to a group that met once a month at William Paterson College
in Wayne NJ. They always had wonderful speakers & always taped the meeting.
I don't know how much it cost, but the person doing it would have tapes
ready at the end of the night for purchase & also had many other tapes from
other meetings & other conferences for a small fee. It was great to be able
to purchases the ones of interest, whether you attended or didn't attend.

The person wasn't affiliated with the school, but did this for a living
going around to the different organizations & also meeting great speakers
from around the world.
