Today's lunch meeting was a good time to touch base.  Katie missed the meeting due to doctor's appointment, but we will catch her up on things.

It looks like most everyone has a good start on his/her articles and projects ... We should have plenty to work with at the next class!  Some things we talked about...

1) Title for the temperaments article - "Know Thyself"
2) Title for the lost Catholic author reprints - "Tolle Lege" (Take and read)
3) Possible titles for the magazine... Credo, Rhyme & Reason, Never Alone, Nota Bene (NB)
4) Possible title for Editorial - Pretiosa (Pearl of Great Price) ... with connections to using of talents, selling all-even the last farthing ... enduring until the end of the battle

Everyone seems to understand that we need to have rough drafts ready for class on March 2nd.

EVERYONE to TALK TO STUDENTS AND FRIENDS about: 
1)  The Pro-Life/Koman Foundation issue regarding support of Planned Parenthood ... get people's input and have it for Friday.  (Was it right?  Should they have to give the $$ back?  What can people do ... especially teenagers?  Why should you care about this issue?  ...bring ideas!!!)  Here is a link to read more about it:

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/02/top-susan-g-komen-official-resigns-after-planned-parenthood-flap/

2) The "battles" that teenagers faced in earlier ages... how they are different from the battles young people face today.  (Ex. Industrial Age - young people forced to work; no education.... or, during the time of the Black Death ... losing almost all family and friends, facing disease, despair, etc.)  Talk to your friends ... bring ideas!

See you all next Friday!
