Men's Night Challenges

[Clinton Blackmore]

Your challenges, should you choose to accept them, are to:

• come up with a topic and be prepared to lead a discussion when it is your turn
  
• invite someone new to Men's Night.

I think we should meet on Thursday, September 12th.  First one to send an e-mail with a topic they want to lead gets to host!

Cheers,

Clinton

[Bill Peavoy]

I think we should discuss the importance of the upcoming local elections.

I'd be happy to host and I have some very interesting related topics we can discuss.

Bill

We can discuss why some are calling this "The Cardston Election that Matters."

[Clinton Blackmore]

That sounds great, Bill.  Do you (or anyone else) have something, especially from the prophets, to read and ponder beforehand?

Thanks, and cheers,
Clinton

[Clinton Blackmore]

I have some scriptures for us to ponder.  (Anyone want to add some additional ones?)

D&C 98

D&C 134

Articles of Faith 1:12

Possibly Mosiah 29 and Ether 6:21-30 and Helaman 2:13-14

I haven't read these, but:

Joseph Smith: Campaign for President of the United States

The Voice of the People

I'm sure there is a talk by Elder Ballard (?) on agency and government.  Love to see what other people come up with.

[Eric Proffitt]

I'm sorry but I'll be out of the country.

Bill, are we meeting at Dustin McKay's house at 8 pm on Thursday?

Eric, we will miss you.  Enjoy your trip.

Here is a (secular) video talk about "gov 2.0" entitled "Government As A Platform For Greatness".  It is not immediately clear to me that it is relevant to local politics, but it isn't clear to me that it is not.

Cheers,

Clinton

We just suffered a major setback.  I have been invited last minute to some education training in Edmonton over the next 3 days and I will be leaving this afternoon.  Very last minute.  Dustin has offered to host at his home, but it might be best to reschedule.

[Bill Peavoy]

I just learned that if we wait and do it either next week or the following week, I can have at least 4 of the 8 people running for office come and speak to us directly.

Bill

[Clinton Blackmore]

We will postpone then.  Having others come talk to us would be great.

Thanks for letting us know.  Good luck on your presentation.
