Here are the meeting locations, dates and times:

• January 11: 6-8pm, Fruitvale Senior Center (3301 E 12th St, Suite 201)
• January 12: 6-8pm, Eastside Arts Alliance (2277 International Blvd)
• January 21: 6-8pm, East Oakland Youth Development Center (8200 International Blvd)
• January 26: 6-8pm, Faith Presbyterian Church (430 49th St)
