In 2003, Roger and his friends Tanya Acker, Roy and Kimberly Ashton, Stacy Baird and Melissa Obegi, Bob and Kafi Blumenfield, Emily Carr, Flavia Colgan, and Michael and Stephanie Garcia decided to put together a series of free lectures for their friends.  Since then we’ve held salons on Art History, Philosophy of the Mind, Futurism, Documentary Film Making, War Correspondents, Handwriting Analysis, Eastern v. Western Medicine, Poetry, The History of Jazz, the Charter School Movement, the High School of the Recording Arts, Running for State Office, Running for U.S. Senate, Running for President, How to Live Longer, The World according to China, how to be Interviewed by the Press, and the making and playing of Didgeridoos.  We’ve heard from speakers such as the Muslim Chaplain to Guantanamo Bay, documentarian Robert Greenwald, and United States Senators Maria Cantwell and Mark Dayton.  Our salons have been held at private homes, outdoors at Burton Chace Park, and at the Craft and Folk Arts Museum. Salons are open to all and free of charge.  If you would like to be invited to the next salon, please contact Roger.  And if you have a suggestion for a good salon speaker, please let us know!
