Our Fall Gathering was terrific, and a recording of it is now available for viewing.  Our videographer Mark Coplan
(bravo, guy!) writes: “Here are two versions of
the video of our Sunday program. Both are the
same video, but it is a very large file, so the
first might be easier for older computers.” EPI Program “Empire — Secrets & Lies” (Low Resolution) 1 hr 35 min: https://youtu.be/mXCNV3a3NTw; High res: https://youtu.be/RBPXV2t_QhM Great job by all.  Now you can watch and listen! Our annual virtual Poetry for Haiti fundraiser was a great success!  Mark Coplan writes,
Here is the video of the poetry event. It is a very large file so I made a medium bitrate file for computers that can't handle the larger file.I was so impressed with the quality of Francisco's audio that I had to cut out a music sampler to share. Enjoy and share these
videos,
Mark
