Great Decisions: A World Affairs Discussion Group
Are you concerned about global issues such as the end-game for the U.S. in Iraq? Trade with China? Energy & the U.S. economy? Developed by the Foreign Policy Association, the Great Decisions Discussion Program is designed to bring millions of Americans together in study groups to discuss, debate and learn about compelling issues of the day. Prepare for the discussion by viewing a short video, read a few brief articles, then discuss and debate the issues that are of paramount importance. This group meets on the 2nd Thursday of the month 7:00 p.m. in the NPL Lounge and is facilitated by Norfolk resident Cathy Elder.
