Founding Director's Commentary

Just a few observations on our excellent Study Group/Discussion Session this past Friday evening June 19th. To begin with, Let me thank all of you who attended, what I hope will be the first of many wonderful Study/Discussion Session meetings at our new home, the Historic Biery House in Catasauqua, Pa. More importantly let me especially Thank Cliff and Janice Lathrop for gaining us permission to use this beautifully restored building.

Now down to business: This was an extremely diverse open ended session, that at times went way off the scale from the proper purpose of why we are there. Believe me I was just as guilty as anyone in perpetuating some of this. We are not suppose to totally focus on today's problems, or debate these issues. Please re-read our Mission Statement. I did just to remind me.

So here is a remedy that I think will work well for us:
1. Ryan gave me a copy of the Heritage Guide to the Constitution that
we can use in conjunction with the 5000 Year Leap's 28 principles.
2. We will start by studying and reviewing each one of the 7 Articles
in September, using both publications as guides. Taking an Article per
session or more if necessary, untill everyone's understanding is
satisfied.
3. Cathy Coffee brought up a very good point Friday night. Where is
the Making of America showings by Dr. Earl Taylor? I suggest, if time
allows, we play a brief portion after each study/review segment.
4. We can also choose a night in which we apply what we are learning
to today's current events, having a discussion without heated debates.
Save that for the street, or other such events that you attend. People
will be amazed at how wise and learned you have become.

More to follow from Ryan on a surprise agenda for the Friday, July 17th get together.

Again, I am proud to be associated with all of you, and am especially pleased at our growth as an organization thus far. These things take time and due diligence with trial and error till we get it right and comfortable.

Faithfully Yours in Freedom and Liberty,

Paul J. Fiske
