Come one, come all to an Icarus conference call. Once a month we try to gather Icarus members from all over the country (and world), members with local groups and members without local groups, new members, old members, etc etc etc (basically YOU if you are reading this) to an informal gathering to hear each other's voices and update each other on what's going on in our lives and our communities. Hope to hear you there!
