Our hosts this month will be Barbara Case and Peter Shackle. We will celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival, which is 3,000-year-old Chinese holiday, celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, focuses on family reunions, gratitude for the harvest, and moon worship, featuring mooncake-eating and lantern displays. No special skill is required, one just sits around and drinks champagne or prosecco while nibbling mooncakes. The ultimate is if you can see the moon at the same time, but that is not necessary. The moon rises at 6:11 pm that day.
