Friends of Liberty,
I’m excited to introduce some changes coming down the road. Starting in August, we will be moving our weekly meetings from Thursdays to Tuesdays. I realize this schedule change will mean that some people who had been able to attend the Thursday meetings may have to juggle their schedules or may not be able to participate some weeks. On the other hand, it will allow some folks who were unable to make Thursday meetings to meet with us more regularly. Our plan is to have programs and events throughout the year in different locations and times across Wake County (and perhaps beyond) to get as many folks involved as possible.
We are also introducing a regular agenda for the meetings so that people will have a good idea beforehand what to expect at each meeting. The general regular agenda will be as follows:
7pm – 7:30pm – business meeting
7:30pm – 8:00pm – presentation (guest speaker, recent events, topic oriented discussion)
8:00pm – follow – discussion
The first Tuesday meeting will be Tuesday, August 2 at Edward McKay’s Used Books. As of that date, regular Thursday meetings will be discontinued and we will meet every Tuesday evening.
Feel free to bring a snack or ‘finger food’ to share (snack potluck!) Our topic will be the free market, with a special discussion of the (so-called) ‘free rider problem’ given by our own Jason Cockrell. We will also be discussing some upcoming topics for the year including ballot access, county and local government, and elections.
