This month's free conversation with John and Peter on December 6th

Join the  free dial-in/online conversationwith Peter and John at 2:00 pm EST on Tuesday, December 6, 2011.

The theme this month will be health care reform. Some questions we will consider: Why will the current efforts at reform make little difference? What role does community play in making health care reform happen? What needs to shift in our current thinking about health care? What can we do collectively to support physical well-being in our neighborhoods and local communities?

Bring your own questions or topics to this or future conversations. Let us know what you’d like to share on building community, making connections, fostering neighborliness, encouraging gift-mindedness. Use the comment form on the website or post your ideas and questions on our Facebook page.
