February 3-5: Winter Camp, Owen Anderson's. This
will be the 40th anniversary of our first winter camp, a weekend of fun, games,
fellowship and good food. If you can join us, let Erik(elofgren@bucknell.edu)
know which meals you will attend and how many people.
Owen lives at 2099 Beaver Run Road. From Lewisburg go west on Rt. 45 and turn right on Beaver Run just before you enter Vicksburg. When you come to the sign (0.9 miles) on the left indicating a tree farm, with the name Anderson, turn left into what is the Anderson's driveway. It is a loop with a wider parking area in front of the garage and space for a few more cars further on, assuming you have taken the right hand fork before the shed.

Feb. 26: Economic Inequality: How Should We Slice the Pie?
Pat Longley Location: Heiter Center.
When the fellowship last dealt with OWS, Erik Lofgren commented that the issue for him was not inequality, per se, but “How much inequality is too much?” Let’s explore that question: for you, what would be the ideal distribution of national wealth and income? Why? How does the U.S. compare to that ideal? What are the human consequences of economic inequality? What is the conservative perspective on and the liberal response to inequality in America? Is the liberal solution adequate or realizable? Reading: Rana Foroohar’s “What Ever Happened to Upward Mobility?” (to be e-mailed; hard copies available at prior meeting)
