Great Decisions

Great Decision books were delivered for those who paid. If you'd still like to join us you can order through the website.

These are the topics that will be covered this year.
  • Special envoys
  • Kenya and R2P
  • Global crime
  • U.S.-China security relations
  • Global financial crisis
  • Russia and its neighbors
  • Persian Gulf
  • Peace building and conflict resolution
You do not need to attend all of the meetings. The Evergreen Library will also have a GD group meeting on six of the topics late spring/early summer so if you miss one of ours you can attend theirs. The library's schedule will be posted when available.

We are meeting the second Friday of each month. The first meeting is February 12th. Time and location still to be determined.

China will be our first topic (it is #4 in the book) because there are several speakers coming to town:
a. China and America Tue, January 19, 7:30pm – 9:00pm
Mount Vernon Country Club (we can meet for dinner beforehand $16, or drinks after - only need to RSVP for dinner)

b. China Rising Tue, February 9, 7pm – 9pm
Gates Concert Hall, Newman Center for the Performing Arts, University of Denver Campus (need to RSVP)

We discussed expanding the GD focus to include more than just the topics in the book. Instead picking a country to go along with the topic and learning more about the country's religions and visiting a place of worship if there is one in Colorado, traditions, music, food, authors, etc.
