MARQUETTE -- The Peter White Public Library is offering a new discussion group, "Great Decisions," which is America's largest and oldest foreign policy discussion group.
The meetings will be held at 6 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of the month from January through August. Meetings will be held via Zoom unless it is safe to do otherwise, organizers said. Admission is free. Prior to each meeting, participants can read up on the topic in the Great Decisions Briefing Book.
Meetings will feature a knowledgeable speaker or a PBS video, followed by a discussion on the month's topic. At the end of the program, participants will have the opportunity to submit an opinion ballot that will be shared with government officials and decision makers. No background knowledge on foreign policy needed.
PWPL has a limited number of Briefing Books to give away for free to participants. The book will also be available at the library for checkout. Contact Dory Shaffer to sign up or get your briefing book at 906- 226-4311 or refedsk@pwpl.info
This program is funded by the Michigan Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities, organizers said.
