ABSTRACT

So here you are, standing in a large room with many chairs scattered around. You are about to have your first meeting of a new group. You have told all the members during the screening that the maximum membership of the group will be eight members. Since you do not yet have the eight, you are beginning the group with the five members you do have. One of them calls early in the day to say he is out of town on a two-week business trip so he will not be attending this week or next. For tonight then, you have four members, assuming they all show up. So, it is time to set up the chairs for tonight.
