Meeting
This month’s program: “Imaginary Friend with Douglas Whaley”
In the novel Imaginary Friend, Douglas Whaley uses fiction to bring to life the experiences, fears, and frustrations of people living as nonbelievers. Through this engaging and often humorous novel, Douglas Whaley uses stories to help build understanding. Douglas Whaley will do readings from Imaginary Friend and invite others to share their stories of life without an imaginary friend.
This meeting will include discussion of the national DSA strategy document and updates and plans for Bernie Sanders work.
