July 5, 2023

🎆 “Ignite the Light,” in honor of the 4th of July was the theme of our July 5 meeting. 🎇

In her speech,🌻 “Change is Beautiful”, Anushree Ramanath shared her journey from her hometown to the US to pursue her doctoral degree and her career as a researcher. Her story was full of inspiration as she overcame challenges. She left us a lesson to ponder, “great things never come from comfort zones” 💗

Sarah Tang shared an invitation in her speech, “Let’s Gather in the Garden” 🌸 to a team outing at the Ruth Bancroft Garden 🌱🌵 in Walnut Creek. The garden theme continued with a unique Table Topics “yes, and” session. The string of brainstorm session that sparked numerous creative ideas.

💬 For the second part of Table Topics, the “What are You Doing” relay game sparked laughs and brought us all out of our comfort zone in a fun way.
