Join us for TED Talks this Friday from 7 to 8:30 pm at the Milwaukee Street
Traders in Delafield. Arrive early and you can catch some dinner and have a
cup of coffee or glass of wine/beer. As usual we'll follow the talk with a
discussion. Friday's TED Talk will be one of the following:

*"Collective compassion has meant an overall decrease in global poverty
since the 1980s, says civil rights lawyer Gary Haugen. Yet for all the
world's aid money, there's a pervasive hidden problem keeping poverty
alive".....Most poor people live outside the protection of the law and face
violence daily.*

Jessica Jackley*Poverty, money — and love

*"What do you think of people in poverty? Maybe what Jessica Jackley once
did: "they" need "our" help, in the form of a few coins in a jar. The
co-founder of Kiva.org talks about how her attitude changed -- and how her
work with microloans has brought new power to people who live on a few
dollars a day."*

Paul Collier*The "bottom billion"

*"Around the world right now, one billion people are trapped in poor or
failing countries. How can we help them? Economist Paul Collier lays out a
bold, compassionate plan for closing the gap between rich and poor"-
improve governance.*


Looking forward to rekindling TED Talks!
