ginning and more experienced members.

Current Issues Club - NEW!
Friday, February 21, 10 a.m., CCF
Contact: Karen G. Bishop,
By the time you read this, the Current
Issues Club may officially be the newest
Chartered Club in Sun City Texas. On
12/23/13, the Charter Club application
was submitted to the CA. Seventy-one
(71) charter members joined in just 63
days of the first meeting in October.
Mission:
The mission of the Club is
to provide a
nonpartisan
environment
where a
respectful exchange of ideas
among members can promote
discussion
and a
deeper understanding of current
issues.
Program:
Members choose a topic for
the next month at the end of each meet-
ing. At the program, background infor-
mation is provided for up to 10 minutes
and then members participate in discus-
sion. Members complete a short evalu-
ation to help improve the program. Be
patient with us as the program format
is evolving; we are trying to discover
the best ways to have members share
research and participate in the discus-
sion. The topic will be displayed online
once the club microsite is set up. In the
meantime, there are flyers posted on the
bulletin boards about two weeks before
the meeting.
Guests:
Resident guests are welcome to
observe. If you would like to participate,
come early and become a member.
Politics:
This is a nonpartisan club wel-
coming all points of view. Discussionmay
include political topics to achieve our goal
of a “deeper understanding of current
issues.” Campaigning is not allowed.
