 hew431@gmail.com.\n\nGeneral Information:\nPurpose: The purpose of the Rob
 ert Welch book club is to give participants an opportunity to gain a deepe
 r understanding of the wisdom of our founder and the philosophy of The Joh
 n Birch Society. Members of the book club will become more effective in pr
 omulgating the cause of Americanism. They will gain a better working knowl
 edge of constitutional originalism\, obtain a proper historical perspectiv
 e\, and gain an active working knowledge of The John Birch Society and its
  goals.\n\nObjective: The goal of the book club is not to supplant the act
 ivities of JBS members in the completion of their monthly duties\, in fact
  the book club’s hope is to augment and draw attention to The John Birch
  Society’s weekly and monthly activities as these are born out of the wo
 rks of Robert Welch. In less than a year\, members will have systematicall
 y completed the majority of our founder's published works.\n\nExpectations
 : Members of the book club should try to keep up with the assignments as t
 hey are given. We will attempt to read at a pace that suits our current re
 aders. While those with handicaps may wish to listen to the audio versions
  of these presentations\, this privilege is reserved for those with a true
  reading disability. Reading books will be the requirement for all able-bo
 died participants\, as reading is the greatest means of gaining permanent 
 knowledge. \n\nFormality: Classes will be informal\, and the leader will s
 erve only as a guide and moderator\, who uses small prompts that will be g
 iven to ensure the class stays focused on the material having been read th
 at week.\n\nTime and Place: Classes will be held Sunday evenings from 7 to
  8 p.m. via Zoom. Upon registration\, you will receive the initial assignm
 ent along with a Zoom link. Registrants must obtain the current book (hard
  copy or PDF) at least one week before class starts in order to read the a
 ssigned pages before attending the Zoom meeting. We will not meet on holid
 ay weekends.\n\nCompleted Book Links: Here is our future reading list. If 
 you're interested in reading any of them\, simply click on the book title 
 to purchase it for yourself.\n\n 	The Blue Book \n 	The Life of John Birc
