00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:05.820 align:middle line:84%
If you're not on
our mailing list

00:00:05.820 --> 00:00:10.500 align:middle line:84%
and would like to
have a brochure,

00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:12.390 align:middle line:84%
listing the readings
for the semester

00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:14.880 align:middle line:84%
I put some out on
the refreshment table

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.600 align:middle line:84%
and I put some up here
on the edge of the stage.

00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.970 align:middle line:84%
We'll be sending out a
newsletter God willing,

00:00:21.970 --> 00:00:23.328 align:middle line:90%
next week.

00:00:23.328 --> 00:00:24.870 align:middle line:84%

00:00:24.870 --> 00:00:27.630 align:middle line:84%
and would like to
receive a newsletter,

00:00:27.630 --> 00:00:31.530 align:middle line:84%
also on the refreshment table
I put some 3 by 5 cards.

00:00:31.530 --> 00:00:33.930 align:middle line:84%

00:00:42.390 --> 00:00:46.332 align:middle line:84%
to list the other
literary events in town

00:00:46.332 --> 00:00:47.790 align:middle line:84%
and there's so many
things going on

00:00:47.790 --> 00:00:50.160 align:middle line:84%
that I'm not going
to name any of them.

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:53.370 align:middle line:84%
