 \nCome prepared to discuss the reading at our January 7 meeting.\n\n\n\nG
 eneral Information:\nPurpose: The purpose of the Robert Welch book club is
  to give participants an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the
  wisdom of our founder and the philosophy of The John Birch Society. Membe
 rs of the book club will become more effective in promulgating the cause o
 f Americanism. They will gain a better working knowledge of constitutional
  originalism\, obtain a proper historical perspective\, 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 activities of JBS members
  in the completion of their monthly duties\, in fact the book club’s hop
 e is to augment and draw attention to The John Birch Society’s weekly an
 d monthly activities as these are born out of the works of Robert Welch. I
 n less than a year\, members will have systematically completed the majori
 ty of our founder's published works.\n\nExpectations: 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 wit
 h handicaps may wish to listen to the audio versions of these presentation
 s\, this privilege is reserved for those with a true reading disability. R
 eading books will be the requirement for all able-bodied participants\, as
  reading is the greatest means of gaining permanent knowledge. \n\nFormali
 ty: Classes will be informal\, and the leader will serve only as a guide a
 nd moderator\, who uses small prompts that will be given to ensure the cla
 ss stays focused on the material having been read that week.\n\nTime and P
 lace: Classes will be held Sunday evenings from 7 to 8 p.m. via Zoom. Upon
  registration\, you will receive the initial assignment 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 assigned pages before a
 ttending the Zoom meeting. We will not meet on holiday weekends.
