+Congratulations Humanists!
+
+We've just about made it to finals week! Winter break approaches, and since this is such a busy time of year for all of us, this meeting is going to be a bit of a change of pace. Instead of our usual topic/discussion format, come join us in Alumni 200 at 8:00pm this Thursday (12/7) for a study and hang out session! There will be hot chocolate. Feel free to bring snacks and get cozy.
+
+During this meeting, we also plan to finish updating the constitution, which includes revising HOM's mission statement. We'll be taking suggestions and input on this process at that time, so if you have any strong feelings about what HOM is and what you want it to be, come and let us know!
+
+See you soon!
+
+Best,\

+Hello Humanists!
+
+Welcome back from break! I hope you all had a good time and got lots of rest. This week's topic, by unanimous vote in the group chat (has that ever happened before?), is, "Are some people more important than others?"
+
+This would normally be the point where I ask clarifying follow up questions to narrow down the topic, but this time I want to see where y'all choose to take this. Can't wait to see everybody tomorrow night in 200 Alumni Hall at 8:00pm.

+Hello HOM!
+
+I hope you all have had a great first two weeks of your Spring semester! This week, rather than a vote, the topic was chosen by myself:
+
+Does suicide carry moral weight? Is suicide ever moral? Is suicide ever immoral?
+
+Suicide and when it is appropriate is one of the great trans-cultural questions, and perceptions of suicide often reflect cultural values as a whole. This question is an opportunity to think about an individual's obligations to society and society's obligation to an individual. This question will be addressed tomorrow at 8PM in Alumni Hall.
+
+I also wanted to thank everyone who helped out with Mega Fair! While I couldn't go to the event myself, I was happy to work with the club for this promotional event.
+
+See you all soon!\
+VP Catarina

+Hello Humanists,
+
+This week is going to be one of those extra special meetings! Professor Massie (our very own club advisor) is coming to talk to us about transhumanism, enhancing people with technology, and genetic modification. [Here](https://miamioh.edu/profiles/cas/pascal-massie.html) is Professor Massie's bio from the MU directory if you want to see what his teaching interests are and the research he's been working on.
+
+To accommodate Professor Massie's schedule, we're going to be meeting **an hour early**. Instead of our meeting starting at the usual time, we'll be meeting at 7:00pm in 200 Alumni Hall.
+
+Can't wait to see you all there!
+
+Best,\

+Hello, everyone!
+
+I hope you've all had a wonderful week since our last meeting with Dr. Massie. This week, we'll return to our usual format, this time talking about our sexual freedoms, specifically: what content should be restricted, on the internet in real life? And, to that end, how does consent extend to what we see?
+
+Remember that we are in Alumni Hall 100, and that **our meeting will be at the normal time of 8PM.**
+
+Hope to see you all there!\

+Friends, wedding crashers, leap day babies (AKA 5 year olds),
+
+This week our topic is going to be marriage and monogamy. Much of our societal and family structure in the U.S. (but also more broadly in many parts of the globe), is built around the nuclear family. We have legal and monetary incentives for marriage, societal pressures for monogamous bonds, and an expectation (this one is more U.S. specific) that a wedded couple live and rear their children alone without direct support from other family members or friends. Is this still a useful structure for our families and relationships, or is there something better? What social limitations does the institution of marriage enforce? Why is polyamory still so stigmatized?
+
+As always (except for that one time), I'll see you all in 200 Alumni Hall on Thursday at 8:00pm.
+
+Best,\

+Hello everyone!
+
+Sorry for the late email. I hope you all have had a good week, and that midterms have not been too hard on you. This week our meeting will be on what we owe to each other: that is to say, do people have any obligation to each other at all? From the obligation of politeness to issues such as compulsory organ donation, how much should we be expected to give back to other people? The meeting will be in Alumni Hall room 200 at 8PM.
+
+I hope to see you there!\

+Howdy Peeps,
+
+I'm returning to a moderator role this week as I'll be filling in for Sam, who will be too busy [battling a Gorn](https://youtu.be/4SK0cUNMnMM) to attend.\
+On Thursday night, we will be asking the following question: *To what extent should a country be responsible for the welfare of foreigners?* This is a major question that the developed world has been considering in the 21st century, particularly when discussing immigration policy related to asylum seekers and refugees. We'll be discussing this question, and more, at our Thursday night meeting.\
+As always, we'll meet on **Thursday (8pm to 9pm ET) at Alumni Hall 200**.\
+To stay in touch with the rest of the organisation, remember to [join our GroupMe](https://groupme.com/join_group/70576704/wc8yedGU), [our mailing list](https://muhub.campuslabs.com/engage/organization/hom), and [follow our Instagram](https://instagram.com/humanistsofmiami).

+Kind regards,\

+Hi everyone,
+
+I'm so sorry for the very late email. I wanted to formally announce that we ARE meeting today! That being said, the format this week will be less formal due to Spring break, so expect some feeling out when the meeting starts.
+
+Have a wonderful Spring break!

+Hello Humanists!
+
+For our first meeting back from Spring Break, our topic will be privacy. Specifically, to what extent does it matter? Is it more important than security? When is it a right, and when is it a privilege? In this digital age, what even constitutes "privacy"?
+
+To answer these questions and more, come to our meeting in 200 Alumni Hall on Thursday at 8:00pm. Can't wait to see you all there!

+Hello everyone,
+
+Hope your week is going well. This week our meeting topic will be on the ethics of war: that is, are there good wars? To what extent is military action justified, and how far does "self defense" extend? Is imperial expansion ever just? We will talk about these questions in Room 200 of Alumni Hall at 8PM.
+
+I also wanted to give you all a schedule for the next few weeks, since the semester is drawing to a close. Next week (that of April 18th) will be our last "normal" meeting where we discuss a single topic announced the week of. The week after that, on April 25th, we will have our presentation night, where members will give a presentation on a topic of their choice. On May 9th, we will have elections for executive positions. Forms for both the presentation night and to register as a candidate for an executive position will be sent within the next week.
+
+Unfortunately, I will not be in attendance tonight due to poor health. That being said, you all have given us a great semester, and I'm super grateful to be your VP.
+
+Have a great time :)\
+VP Catarina

+Hello Humanists!
+
+This week’s topic, brought to you by Gabriel, is tribalism, individualism, and collectivism. Gabriel will be moderating this meeting.
+
+As a quick reminder, next week’s meeting (4/25) will be presentation night, and the week after that (5/2) is elections. If you want to present, send me your slides by Wednesday 4/24 to declare your intent.
+
+Hope to see you all Thursday 4/18 at 8:00pm in Alumni Hall 200!
