"Common Ground" Monday Night at Cafe 210

I'll be participating in a panel Monday night at Cafe 210.  Everyone is invited.  Cafe 210 is located at 210 W. Center Street in Visalia, and the program will run from 7:00 to 8:30 P.M.  The topic is "Common Ground." 

The program will start with two panelists, Porterville Mayor Virginia Gurrola and College of the Sequoias English instructor Jane Thomas, sharing their experiences and difficulties with finding common ground. 

After them I will go on with my friend and COS History colleague Stephen Tootle.  Stephen is faculty advisor for the College Republicans and I share the same role for the COS Young Democrats.  Our aim is to search for common ground on a variety of issues while modeling civil and respectful dialogue between people who frequently disagree.

The application to current social and political discourse in our country should be rather apparent to anyone who is paying attention.  I hope to see you there!
