Greetings

At the last Diversations on July 18 (at the Green's), we decided to have a follow-up gathering on August 22.  So this is your reminder and invitation. 

Again, it will be a potluck dinner, so bring your favorite dish.

What: Diversations (Diversity Conversations)
Where: Candra Huston's residence (in Bastrop--Directions forthcoming)
When: 7 p.m., Friday, August 22  (7-8 p.m. for food; 8 p.m. and after for discussion

Activity:
Our activity this time will focus on story-sharing.

Share a personal story (a real experience) about a significant encounter with someone "different" than you are (different in race, ethnicity, etc.). 
You may write this ahead of time and read it--or just tell it extemporaneously.

Guidelines:

--Tell your story in the first person "I." 
--Be as specific and detailed as possible (who/what/when/where/how).
--Be an active, empathetic listener to others' stories

Thanks to you all for participating.  We ook forward to seeing you a week from Friday.  If any of you want to car pool, contact Tim (330-4088).

Yours,
Mona Allen and Tim Green
