Boulder-WADG.org The Boulder Colorado World Affairs Discussion Group

The Boulder World Affairs Discussion Group are people interested in discussing current events and topics of national and international interest. New participants are always welcome.

The Boulder-WADG group meets each Tuesday morning at 10:00 at the Meadows Branch of the Boulder Library located behind the Meadows shopping center at Baseline road and the Foothills parkway.

The first hour is a discussion of current events or a topic selected by that weeks volunteer leader. The second hour is an "open mike" discussion of issues brought to the group by members. These are typically current events of general interest. For the last week of the month, the discussion will focus on the book selected for discussion.

Both hours are lead by a weekly volunteer.
