 MUST REGISTER TO PARTICIPATE **\nQuestions: See our website www.RobertWelc

 tthew431@gmail.com.\n\nGeneral Information:\nPurpose: The purpose of the R
 obert Welch book club is to give participants an opportunity to gain a dee
 per understanding of the wisdom of our founder and the philosophy of The J
 ohn Birch Society. Members of the book club will become more effective in 
 promulgating the cause of Americanism. They will gain a better working kno
 wledge of constitutional originalism\, obtain a proper historical perspect
 ive\, and gain an active working knowledge of The John Birch Society and i
 ts goals.\n\nObjective: The goal of the book club is not to supplant the a
 ctivities of JBS members in the completion of their monthly duties\, in fa
 ct the book club’s hope is to augment and draw attention to The John Bir
 ch Society’s weekly and monthly activities as these are born out of the 
 works of Robert Welch. In less than a year\, members will have systematica
 lly completed the majority of our founder's published works.\n\nExpectatio
 ns: Members of the book club should try to keep up with the assignments as
  they are given. We will attempt to read at a pace that suits our current 
 readers. While those with handicaps may wish to listen to the audio versio
 ns of these presentations\, this privilege is reserved for those with a tr
 ue reading disability. Reading books will be the requirement for all able-
 bodied participants\, as reading is the greatest means of gaining permanen
 t knowledge. \n\nFormality: Classes will be informal\, and the leader will
  serve only as a guide and moderator\, who uses small prompts that will be
  given to ensure the class stays focused on the material having been read 
 that 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 assig
 nment along with a Zoom link. Registrants must obtain the current book (ha
 rd copy or PDF) at least one week before class starts in order to read the
  assigned pages before attending the Zoom meeting. We will not meet on hol
 iday weekends.
