=====The Omaha Sherlockian Society=====

{{:oss_pin_apr23.jpg?240 |OSS lapel pin }} **Welcome**
This page is the start of your path to information about the Omaha Sherlockian Society, a group of individuals with significant interest in the collection of novels and short stories about Sherlock Holmes and his activities. Although fictional, Mr. Holmes lives on in the minds -- and pens (or word processors) of many.

**About Us** The Omaha Sherlockian Society was originally organized by Carl Wirth in October 2010. The group became a scion society of the [[BSI|Baker Street Irregulars]] on October 24, 2016. It meets on the second Saturday of each month. Meetings usually begin with notes of recent events of interest to Sherlockians, and then proceed to a discussion of either a story from the [[Canon]], or a pastiche. The stories from the Canon are currently covered in the order in which it is expected they were written. As you might expect, during the pandemic our meetings have been almost exclusively remote using Zoom to provide video and audio of the members. But we still manage to meet every month.

====Meeting Structure====
Meetings usually begin with a summary of events related to the group that occurred since the previous meeting, or will occur in the future. Various new items of interest to the group (publications, movies, and so forth) might be mentioned. Sometimes there will be business to discuss, such as the planning for the annual dinner or celebration of Sherlock's birthday. But the primary activity at each meeting is the discussion of a story, either by Doyle or a pastiche penned by some other author(s). The current plan is for the discussion to be led by one or more members, and to focus on a particular aspect of the story. The current plan is to discuss the Canon in the order of first publication, with possible breaks to consider pastiches of particular importance. A number of areas of focus can be found [[foci|here]].

====The Next Meeting====
Our next [[meeting]] will be held on December 9, 2023 in the large meeting room on the lower floor of the W. Clarke Swanson Branch of the Omaha Public Library, at 9101 West Dodge Road in Omaha. The meeting will begin at 10:00 AM, and is scheduled for about two hours.

The plan for the meeting is to discuss **The Adventure of the Yellow Face**.
