1. Event Review – We did Popcorn Politics last Friday. It was a good film and a pretty good discussion followed.

2. Upcoming Event – We have a reading discussion this Saturday. Unfortunately, it’s been double-booked with a sudden event concerning the death penalty. We’ll have to still get the articles compiled and printed, and clean up the room.
