The Boulder-WADG group meets each Tuesday morning at 10:00 at the Meadows Branch of the Boulder Library located behind the Meadows shopping center at Baseline road and the Foothills parkway.
The first hour is a discussion of current events or a topic selected by that weeks volunteer leader. The second hour is an "open mike" discussion of issues brought to the group by members. These are typically current events of general interest. For the last week of the month, the discussion will focus on the book selected for discussion.
Both hours are lead by a weekly volunteer.
The Current Book selected for discussion: The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt
