*Next Meeting: watch for an email asking about preferred meeting times

*Planning started for a series of monthly, noon talks with a general theme of

            "The World I'd Like To See, and What We Need to Get There."

 

1. Introductions by people attending: Kate Hale, Donna Raleigh, Pam Forman, Yanick St. John, Rick Richmond, Eberth Alarcon, Paul Kaldjian, Larry Glenn. 2. Kate described her idea of a series of talks by campus, community, or invited guests with a positive and specific focus on one aspect of what would make a better world, from the presenter's perspective. Some possible ideas to consider: chemicals and the environment; community building; peace movement among Israelis; social awareness and investments chosen by the State of Wisc. Investment Board. Those present thought we could tentatively plan a monthly series. 3. Suggestion to develop some guidelines for noon talks to provide some consistency: a specific, positive focus; what can individuals/groups do to express active involvement on the issue. 4. Possibility of holding another 2-3 day "teach-in" in the spring discussed. Suggestion of inviting Rus Feingold as a speaker. 5. Other events suggested for promotion or co-sponsorship: Eberth will find details for a live satellite broadcast from Milwaukee on Oct. 14 with Regoberta Menchu.-----Paul will finish a proposal to co-sponsor an exhibit called "Breaking the Silence" scheduled for Schneider 100 on Oct. 21. This exhibit documenting the treatment of Palestinians was created by Israeli soldiers.
