Morals – excluding the non-mushroom delicacy – leave us at times, in a lurch. We are dreadfully aware that our individual moral code far surpasses the moral compass of our friends, and those of the other political parties. Many look to us for guidance and instruction, especially when we are calling the shots. We have invited Ken Schepers, a long- time guest and lecturer. Probably his best was the talk on the Viet Nam caves that Ken so vividly presented to the rest of us who did not have an inkling to visit Nam, let alone fight its depressing war. Ken has been asked to tell us about our moral ground, where we find it, and how we should deal with it. The name of his speech is “Ten ways to offend friends that you have recently lost.” The moral equation is with us constantly, whether we are correct in correcting others, or setting the moral tone especially to those you cannot stand to be around. Questions? You betcha! No, you won’t have to bring the latest edition of Emily Post. But, if you bring a guest, or two, we have a possible Meijer gift card for your efforts.      

Invocator:  Mr. Eric Nelson
Introducer:  Mr. Paul Chardoul
