Our January meeting will be held tomorrow (Tuesday, the 14th) in the St. John's Parish House library at 6:30 PM. We will continue discussing A Framework for Understanding Poverty by Ruby Payne.
Last month, we began reevaluating how we should understand the mission of our group, and we will continue this discussion tomorrow. In particular, we discussed the question of what our primary aim should be, in light of the fact that (1) we lack a regular source of funding, aside from our own personal contributions, and (2) we do not want to compete with, nor duplicate the efforts of, the St. John's outreach committee.
On a related point, Chris and Haley will share information concerning a grant program administered by Sustainable Dubuque, which might be worth pursuing, particularly since one proposed aim of our group was to provide education and foster discussion within our church community about peace and justice issues.
