Join CCV men (members, volunteers and friends of the village) for lunch on the third Wednesday of each month at Andiamo Ristorante. There is usually an interesting speaker and lots of good conversation. 

Our next lunch meeting will take place on Wednesday, October 17 at 1200 hours at Andiamo's Ristorante, 2521 Rutland Blvd (at Burnet Road).

There's a treat in store:  New CCV member Megan Biesele will share her presentation on 

                                        Cultural Heritage of our Ancestors: The Click-Speaking African San

Megan is a cultural anthropologist and activist on behalf of indigenous peoples. A lifelong Austinite, she has studied and worked in Botswana and Namibia off and on over the course of 48 years. Her time in Africa has been spent with the Ju|'hoan San, whose forebears are said by the Human Genome Project to be mankind's very oldest ancestors. Both her research and her activist work have centered on cultural heritage documentation and maintenance of the Ju|'hoan language through recording, transcription, translation, publication, and literacy projects. 

This isn't your ordinary travelogue, folks!  If like me you've never heard of click-speaking peoples, then come join us and plan to be fascinated and broaden your horizons!

And please let me know ASAP if you plan to attend.
