July 2024 Newsletter

 

This is a brief newsletter to make sure you know about the Book Discussion. We’ll catch up on more activities in August.

Please forward this newsletter to friends and family you think might be interested in the social justices issues that OWOF covers in Western Washtenaw County. To be added to our newsletter list, please contact owofchelsea@gmail.com


Why do ideas such as ‘fairness’ and ‘freedom’ mean such different things to different people? Why is it so easy to see the flaws in others’ arguments, and less in our own?
Let’s read and talk about it!
Join us August 15 for PART 1!  This event will be virtual so you can join wherever you are.
Part 1 – August 15/ Part 2 – Sept 15/
Part 3—Oct 15
7—8.30pm
