Meeting notes

The Fourth Turning Is Here

In his book "The Fourth Turning Is Here", Neil Howe reviews the cyclical nature of history and how that cyclical nature enables us to better understand the how and why of the events of our current world. In our meetings we summarized and discussed the book and how his concepts can help guide us through the current challenging times.  A PDF version of the presentations can be downloaded by clicking here.

Stop Driving In Reverse

Many people of the "Boomer" generation fondly remember how the world was when they were growing up. It is natural for them to wish that the world could go back to those times, or at least experience the stability, peace, prosperity, and seurity that they did. Sadly, history cannot repeat itself, and longing for the good old days will not make them return. Therefore, it is necessary to stop looking back (driving in reverse) and begin to learn how to use what we have learned to guide the younger generations to a brighter future by acting as "Edlers". This presentation provides some approaches to how this can be done.

What do you believe

In these challenging times, bombarded as we are by information from the news, social media, and discussions with our families, friends, and associates, it can be difficult to maintain a clear and consistent perspective on what we believe to be right and true.

We must each build a foundation of principles upon which to build our personal belief system, and to consciously create a worldview that enables us to see the world through than lens.

How can you adequately assess the flood of information that we meet each day and discern its validity, its veracity, and its value? Learn how to develop and/or strengthen your worldview.
