Once we start reading it, we will adjust it depending on everyone's pace and participation. Please read at least two chapters. For the first event, it will be the introduction and chapter 1. We will have wrap party at the last session of this book. Update: Since it is a easy read book, we have decided to read and discuss 4 chapters for each reading. I will update chapters to read at each event in the **Comment** area down below. Make sure to check it out. **How to find us** I will be at 2nd floor. Take the escalator up. I will be at your right with a green sign "Cafe Finance" when you stand at the entrance. **Agenda** 5:30 \~ 6:00 pm Sharing and Networking ( You can buy or bring food to eat while we are discussing the book) 6:00 \~ 7:30 pm Book Discussion 7:30 \~ 8:00 pm Conclusion & Final thought **About the book** Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In the Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to mkae better sense of one of life's most important topics.

Cleat Cute by Meryl Wilsner

For our August 21st book club, we have chosen *Cleat Cute* by Meryl Wilsner: Lace up your cleats! Our next Sapphic Book Club pick is *Cleat Cute*, a funny, steamy romance filled with fierce competition, undeniable attraction, and irresistible chemistry. Grace Henderson has spent the last decade as a star on the U.S. Women's National Team, but when an injury sidelines her, rising rookie Phoebe Matthews steps into the spotlight. Phoebe is everything Grace isn't; playful, outgoing, and completely unafraid to enjoy the game. What starts as a rivalry quickly turns into a teammates-with-benefits arrangement that neither of them can seem to resist. As the World Cup draws closer, Grace fights to earn her place back on the roster while Phoebe navigates her rookie season. A series of hilarious misunderstandings leaves them seeing their relationship in very different ways, forcing them to decide if they're willing to risk their hearts while chasing the biggest dream of their careers. Whether you're a soccer fan or simply love a romance with humor, heart, and unforgettable chemistry, *Cleat Cute* is a book you won't want to miss. And don't forget, you can always stop by the store to grab your copy of *Cleat Cute* at Pride & Petals. Make sure to save your spot here, we have limited space: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sapphic-romance-book-club-tickets-1994375598101?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sapphic-romance-book-club-tickets-1994375598101?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true)

DC415

This group was created to bring together people who share a passion for cybersecurity and a curiosity about how things work. The goal is simple — to connect with other humans who enjoy meaningful, inspiring, and sometimes unexpected security conversations more than just once a year. Many of us have returned from security conferences feeling both inspired and overwhelmed — full of new ideas and projects to explore, only to have life pull us in other directions. Maybe a demanding client, a new sprint, or even a new baby shifted priorities away from that funny blinky badge project sitting on a shelf. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. This meetup offers a space for like-minded individuals to gather once a month, share what’s captured their attention, discuss recent exploits or discoveries, and showcase projects born from curiosity or necessity. Whether it’s a half-finished experiment, a new idea sparked by a problem, or something ready for collaboration, this is a place to share and grow together. Most of all, this group encourages rediscovering that spark of curiosity — dusting off those badges, boards, and brainstorms — and diving once again into the spirit of exploration that brought us all here.
