SIGNS OF THE TIMES DIALOGUE:

“Simple Living – Necessity and Invitation”

Keynote Speaker: Mary Doak, Ph.D. and Panelists

The current economic earthquake leaves few people unaffected and, by most predictions, the aftershocks will be felt for quite some time. The necessity to trim the budget, to do without, and to modify lifestyles demands great sacrifice for many. But is there also an invitation, an opportunity, hidden in this moment? Join with others to reflect on the two sides of this precious coin.

Where:     Salomon Hall, Bishop Maher Hall, USD

Fee:          Pre-registration $10; $15 at the door. Students free w/ ID.

                 Faculty/Staff are half-price.
