The Chateau has set a minimum of 40 (with social distancing and all possible precautions involved in seating and table service); I am watching for indications of interest in gathering at the Chateau on Fridays beginning with the June program (see below). Meanwhile, I'm grateful for Zoom! and will continue Zooming on Thursdays for all who prefer Zoom for reasons of convenience, safety, or distance! For information about the 2021 series, scroll down.
