On April 15, the Boston Marathon bombings shut down the city, shocked the country and gave us flashbacks to terrorist tragedies of the past few decades. Our Boston chapter had a "meetup" scheduled for the next evening, with 55 women coming to learn about TTN. The dilema: carry on or cancel? Continued
