November 18th Meeting

Well, another successful meeting. It's always a success when someone joins me for the meeting! In the picture above, it's me, Jim Maimone, and Tim Binkley. Andrew Thurston was gracious enough to take the picture. While Andrew has to work during the meetings, he is a member of the Chillicothe Chesterton Society, so maybe I'll never attend a meeting by myself, at least as long as Andrew continues to work at Schlegel's.

Jim Maimone attended his first meeting last night. When I asked Jim how he found out about the meeting, he said he had read about it in St. Peter's church bulletin. The notice in the bulletin was quite old, but Jim had saved it and finally had the opportunity to join us. I'll be asking St. Peter's to run the notice again. I may get yet another member!

We talked about Distributism. All of us are new to the concept so we've decided it will also be the subject of our December meeting. We'd like to know more about it. We've got lots of reading to do.

Since both Jim and Tim are new to Chesterton, I showed them some links we have on this blog. Using one of those links (YouTube) we listened to one of the few recordings of Chesterton. We all enjoyed it. Chesterton's self deprecating humor is refreshing.

And, finally, the big announcement. See the post below. Hilare Belloc will be visiting Chillicothe, Ohio in March of 2010.
