will be meeting this <B><I>Friday, March 11 from 6:30 to 8:00
p.m. at Milwaukee Street Traders (523 Milwaukee St. in
Delafield).</I></B> Last month we decided to look for TED Talks on
social democracies. I spent a fair amount of time searching TED Talks and came
up empty on this, though I did find several great talks on issues related to
global labor, the changing world political landscape and investing in socially
responsible companies. I loved all three of these. As always feel free
to bring a suggestion for us.</SPAN></DIV>
