Anyone can comment, including non-members. Commentary is encouraged, disagreement is welcomed, respect is required. WHAT IS SECOND SATURDAY? On the Second Saturday of every month, a group of friends meets at a modest house somewhere in one of the most beautiful cities in the world for a potluck dinner, a galvanizing movie, and a dynamic discussion afterward. Our goals? * To laugh, have a good time, and eat great food. * To learn something about a a current issue, events in history, or a part of our world in a friendly, fun, and non-judgmental environment. * To better understand our own beliefs by discussing them in an intellectually rigorous atmosphere. * To build a foundation of support in these complicated and trying times as a safe haven from despair and apathy. * To combat our feelings of helplessness with very simple, achievable action items and build on the enthusiasm of the group. * To leave with a sense of hope and purpose, reinvigorated to face the world. Movies cover a wide range of subjects, from politics to sustainable farming to current events to religious history and everything in between. We're a smart, diverse group with lots of talents and many interests! Guided discussions follow, including suggestions of simple action items to take. Change is optional, education is inevitable.
