The GENERAL SECTION is one of the two sections that hold afternoon meetings. The second Thursday of each month at 2:30pm is the regular meeting time. As the name implies, no specific subject is followed but a series of talks encompassing as many of the disciplines of the evening sections as possible is arranged. All meetings end with refreshments.
