    Thursday, July 26, 7:30 pm: Monthly meeting in the CalTech Y (on San Pasqual between Hill and Holliston, on the south side behind the two curving walls). We will be discussing plans for the coming month.

    Tuesday, Aug. 14, 7:30 pm: letter-writing in the Athenaeum. We will meet in the Rath al Fresco on the lawn behind the building. (Look for a table with the Amnesty sign.) Join us for actions on human-rights violations around the world, talk, and refreshments.

    Sunday, Aug. 18, 6:30 pm: Human-rights book discussion group meets at Vroman's Bookstore (695 E. Colorado Blvd in Pasadena), 2nd floor. This month our book is "The Coroner's Lunch", by Colin Cotterill, an engaging and evocative "detective" novel set in Laos after the Communist takeover, whose hero is an elderly doctor employed by the Party as national coroner. Come and join the discussion, even if you haven't read the book.
