A SPECIAL REQUEST FROM RANDY:

This transition back to in-person carries more than a few challenges. If you plan to attend in-person, please purchase your tickets as soon as possible to help us with our planning. That would really help.

(And, yes, prices have gone up. As they have in pretty much every arena. A lot has happened since February, 2019, the last time we met...).

Thank you.

{And, don't forget the other two events I recommend; both meeting this week:

Success North Dallas, meeting tomorrow, Wed. Dec. 15, 7:00 am. Click here for info.
and
The Urban Engagement Book Club, sponsored by CitySquare, meeting Thursday, Dec. 16, 12:30 pm Central time.
The First Friday Book Synopsis is back at the Park City Club, on January 7, 2022.

And, will also still be available over Zoom.

Click on the "Reserve Now" button to purchase tickets for the in-person gathering at the Park City Club.

The Zoom info, for remote participation, is below, near the end of this e-mail.

“I love good books;
and I read books
And share their core concepts
To help people
become more literate
And know what to work on
To do a better job
To build a better company
And, ultimately, to build
a better life.”

You want to be better informed; more up-to-date; you want to keep current!

You want to know what is in the best business books.

You want to know the latest trends; the latest findings; you want to know what works: what works now; what is likely to work tomorrow.

Randy Mayeux can be your guide to such learning.
Greetings!

FIRST FRIDAYS ARE FOR LEARNING!

We are in our 24th year!

You are invited to learn with the engaged learners who attend the First Friday Book Synopsis. Our next session is on January 7, 2022.

Our format has never changed. Two good business books, two synopses, every month.

You know the dilemma: so many books, so little time. Our synopses help you in tangible ways. You learn the key content of the books we select. It's fast-paced. 
And, you walk away with a genuinely helpful, comprehensive synopsis handout for each book.

And we always have wonderful conversations, 
and a terrific buffet breakfast;
with a made-to-order omelet bar. 

One regular participant calls our monthly events "cozy and intimate." I like that; I think it captures part of what is special about the First Friday Book Synopsis. 

Others describe it this way: "like power reading a business book." I like that too.

What I know is this -- we always have engaged people,
ready to learn. 
After all, First Fridays Are For Learning!

Come; eat; visit & network; and learn. 
And, bring a friend or two. 

I hope you can join us!

About the two books:
Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything 

by Martin Ford.
Basic Books. 2021.
You will definitely
meet new people!
From a gathering in 2019 - synopsis handouts open, taking notes....
If you plan to participate over Zoom, Please Read:

As I have been doing, I will e-mail the synopsis handouts the day before the event, for you to print out for yourself.

I am sad that I will not be able to visit on Zoom before the meeting, as I have been doing. Nor will I be able to discuss the synopses afterwords. But, you will be able to talk to one another, both before and after.

Note: The presentations will begin at about 7:25, or so; and end by about 8:20, or so.

A very appreciative thank you to all who participate financially in this event. 

The cost of this remote meeting is “free.”

But, if you would like to contribute to participate, Randy would welcome you to send $12.00 directly to him through PayPal. Click here for a direct link to “donate” through PayPal.

(Note: you can also send money through Zelle, at Randy’s e-mail address).
(Randy’s e-mail address for PayPal, and Zelle, is randymayeux@sbcglobal.net).

Please help spread the word far and wide; help make this a success.
