Friends,
 We had a fabulous turnout of 38 people for Diane Goodman's first workshop "What is White Privilege and What Does it Have to Do with Me?" that happened on Sunday, January 11th.
Participants said, "I loved the structure. We got so much accomplished in such a short time." And felt the experience was "clear, convincing, and inspiring."
This Sunday, Dr. Goodman will offer the next workshop in the three part series Exploring What it Means to Be White.
Workshop 2, Jan. 25th
