SUMMARY:Current Events
DESCRIPTION:In an age of instant news reporting from every corner of our world\, sometimes the sheer volume of information can feel overwhelming. This current events discussion group will attempt to quiet the noise and step back to reflect on what the news means\, what is its context\, and what the ramifications are. We will look at\, reflect on\, and analyze daily events and try to discern trends and understand the national picture and the larger world basing the discussion on factual information in a non-judgmental framework. This discussion group is free and open to all. Registration is not required. \n
