Now
that the yellow caution lights are blinking again, our
students are back in the class room and the stifling heat of
late August appears to have past, welcome back to the first
issue of the Fall series of One Columbus' Items
of Information (which we have changed to Items
of Interest beginning with this issue). Your comments
and suggestions are always welcome as we want to
make this a useful and educational piece. Please feel free to
contact me or the person identified at the end of each item.

Race
Relations Breakfast Fall Series begins
This
Wednesday will be the 18th year that citizens of
our great city have used the democratic dialogue process to
address some of the issues that we face here in the
Chattahoochee
Valley
. Even before President Abraham Lincoln issued the
Emancipation Proclamation, groups of individuals from
different sides of the tracks sat down to talk about
opportunities and options to resolve issues - particularly
with respect to race. The dialogue may not have been
democratic (as we try to make it in our RRB sessions), but it
appears we are getting past resolving issues with guns and
'street justice.' The next breakfast will be Wednesday,
September 12 beginning at 7:30 AM at Ruth Ann's. A donation of
$6.00 is asked. Guests and you're the first time fiends you
invite are free.

As
Columbus
grows and the world shrinks, we are being encouraged to
broaden our vision and rethink many of the assumptions that we
make about people and our relationship to them worldwide.
