GWH

Our next official GWH meeting will be on Tuesday, February 9, starting a bit earlier than usual at 6:30 p.m., at our usual meetingplace at the UU Church of Worcester, 90 Holden Street, Worcester. We're starting early because we have a special two-hour workshop on non-violent communication being run by Marguerite Robbins, who visits us from Concord. This topic is so critically important these days, when both non-violence and effective communication seem to be in such short supply. Feedback from those who have already seen this workshop suggests it is excellent.

Dr. Jeremy DeSilva, an assistant professor of Anthropology at Boston University will be joining us for our monthly meeting. He has worked at early human fossil sites throughout East Africa, and has studied a population of wild chimpanzees in western Uganda. Dr. DeSilva specializes in biomechanics and has particular interest in the origins and evolution of upright walking.

We'll be screening the second part of the three-part BBC documentary, "A Brief History of Disbelief." Hosted by Jonathan Miller, this documentary was made available to PBS stations nationwide and played on many, but WGBH decided not to air it. It's an interesting program and we're pleased to be able to show it.

Greater Worcester Humanists is proud to be sponsoring Noam Chomsky on November 6th at 7 p.m.. Mr. Chomsky's talk will be at the First Parish UU Church of Bedford, 75 Great Road, Bedford, MA. He will be discussing his new book, "What We Say Goes - Conversations on US Power in a Changing World." His presentation will be relatively short, and he'll take questions and answers from the audience until about 8:30.

If you are interested in carpooling or otherwise sharing a ride with others from our group, let me know and I'll try to put you in contact with others.
