The following outline is respectfully suggested –


**********************
A. Comments About Specific Chapters of “Poverty, by America” – 60 minutes

Our tradition is to devote the first portion of each monthly meeting to going through the focus book, chapter by chapter, to invite important comments that are specific to a particular chapter. After all, each participant (except, perhaps, “first timers”) have taken the time to read the focus book and her/his opportunity to opine on anything in the focus book should NOT be denied.

HOWEVER, our total meeting time of 120 minutes should prove a SEVERE constraint, so please be sure your comments really are important.

Prologue
Chapter 1 – The Kind of Problem Poverty Is
Chapter 2 – Why Haven’t We Made More Progress?
