Upcoming meeting

Our next meeting:

Tuesday, February 2, 2010
7 pm at the Potlatch Library

Our guest speaker is John Lafer, a Pullman resident who will soon to be joining the Potlatch community. John is a strong advocate for liberty and constitutional government and has been very involved with grass roots campaigning in the recent past.  Since I met John nearly a year ago, I have been struck by his calm approach and his ability to engage people in thoughtful discussions.  He recently gave a power point presentation to a liberty group in Moscow/Pullman and has graciously agreed to come speak to us also.

We've all had the experience of wanting to inform someone about an issue and running head-on into that person's partisan barriers.  In our polarized society, it is often hard to get past the 'talking points' that both sides toss out.  I anticipate learning some practical techniques for more effective communication with  those who don't necessarily share my views. 

Come on down and join us...and bring a friend!

And mark February  23 on your calendar for the next meeting.  ( Topic or speaker to be announced)
