If you can a copy of the weekly rec news, the club with topic and location info. is listed under "Civil Discourse Club." They alternate between meeting at Savannah Center and Colony Cottage. I believe the meetings are every Monday at 10:00 a.m. The meeting I went to last Monday was at Colony Cottage. It lasts for 90 minutes. First there was a presentation (about 20 minutes), then people got up to a microphone and give their opinion (about 2 minute time limit) or asked the presenter a question. Your must present your opinion in a civil way. Last Monday's meeting was crowded -- probably 80+ people in the room. I don't know if there are dues charged or not, but I didn't pay anything. Last week's topic was the budget deficit. Very interesting. I wish I could go again!
