- **Event Name**: First Meeting
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 03:30 pm – Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for our very first meeting as we begin what we hope will be a rich, thoughtful, and ongoing civic reading society centered on the writings that shaped the mind of our republic.
This opening evening will be a meet &amp; greet, giving everyone a chance to get to know one another, share what brought us here, and set the tone for the kind of respectful, idea-driven discussion we want this group to be known for.
Together, we will walk through Federalist No. 1 — not as a lecture, but as a shared reading and conversation. We will take our time with the text, asking questions, tracing arguments, and considering why Hamilton’s opening challenge still matters today.
This is a multigenerational gathering. Thoughtful students, parents, grandparents, and lifelong learners are all welcome. The goal is not expertise, but a willingness to read carefully, think deeply, and engage in good faith.
For those who are not local, I am currently working on securing a Zoom option so you can participate from wherever you are.
Whether you have read the Federalist Papers many times or are opening them for the first time, there is a seat for you at the table.
