  “ Great speakers, and Andrew is just awesome for putting this together. I just wish I had known it was a beginner's class. I was happy to meet a few people from the group, but knowing that it was going to be an introductory discussion would have been helpful in my decision to attend. Ultimately I'm glad that I attended, but my education on the topic was not advanced by the meeting. ”
