PROGRAM SCHEDULE: 2011-2012
This year’s programs will reflect the topics that were identified and supported by a majority of members during our two summer retreats: 1) a project in association with CARE tentatively named CARE Atlanta; and 2) confronting the issue of human trafficking, especially the sex trafficking of young women and girls. For this reason, a tentative program schedule has been developed.
Please note that there are several program dates and topics that are not firm; for further information members should check the monthly newsletter, check the Branch website, or contact the program chair, Pat Bevis.
