Week of Labor Day (September 7) - First Seminar Meeting
EfM groups meet for two hours each week for 36 weeks. Our group will begin to meet the week of Labor Day.
Groups are made up of a minimum of six and a maximum of twelve participants (not including mentors).
We are building a new group, so will determine together which meeting time works best for those who want to join. Seminar meetings last for two hours. Based on mentor availability and the availability of meeting spaces, potential meeting times are:
Mondays 6:00 to 8:00 PM (or 6:30 to 8:30 PM)
Tuesdays 6:00 to 8:00 PM (or 6:30 to 8:30 PM)
Wednesdays 6:30 to 8:30 PM
Thursdays 8:00 to 10:00 AM
Participants purchase their own EfM texts separately from the program fee. Two good sources are available. Barnes & Noble's EfM books page (Sewanee's bookstore) carries the full range of EfM texts. Hearts & Minds Books, an independent bookstore in Pennsylvania, offers discounts on EfM texts when ordering, simply let them know the books are for EfM to receive the discount.
Registration opens July 15, 2026 and is coordinated by this year's Administrative Mentor, Stacy Holley. Email Stacy at efmwinstonsalem@gmail.com to get started with the online registration process.
