The early part of the New Year brings joy and enlightenment by way of Calvin’s January Series and the World Affairs Council at Aquinas College. Scheduling in December prevented us from inviting “Miss January.” To make up for this gaffe, we have invited Michael J. Van Denend, Executive Director of the World Affairs Council of Western Michigan, to fill us in on an excellent program happening in the World. With the cauldron pot a’boilin’ with China, N Korea, and even that mid-east country that rhymes with trouble, it pays to have a clear perspective. Learn what treats Michael has for us in 2020.
P.S.: Mitch Albon is coming to January, not Worlds Affair!
Invocator: Mr. Keith D. Vandercook
Introducer: James Booth Burr, Jr., Esq.
The World: “The world is so dreadfully managed, one hardly knows to whom to complain." Arthur Ronald Firbank, English novelist, with references to religion, social-climbing and sexuality.
The World 2: “We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.” Goethe
Paraprosdokian: You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
