Discuss global topics with the Mattapoisett Woman’s Club

Nov 27, 2022

This year the Mattapoisett Woman's Club will again offer the Foreign Policy Association’s Great Decisions program, which is America's largest discussion group on world and domestic affairs.

It will meet on Wednesdays from 1 to 3 p.m. for eight consecutive weeks beginning on January 18, 2023 and ending on March 8, 2023. Meetings will be held in the Community Room of the Mattapoisett Free Public Library, 7 Barstow Street. The Community Room is accessible at the library’s side entrance, using the first floor elevator.  

The discussion program is co-sponsored by the Mattapoisett Woman's Club and the Mattapoisett Free Public Library. Jennifer Jones, Director of the Mattapoisett Free Public Library, also offers the program through Zoom and she, along with library staff members, are available to assist participants in researching additional materials.  

Each year during the program's meetings, participants find that the topics are meaningful, current and offer ways to research, express opinions, and seek out experts on each issue. Guests are often invited to share their specialty in the area of the topic. During discussions, participants often wish that there was even more time to investigate and discover further ideas and decision options. 

For the 2023 session, the topics are:  Energy Geopolitics; War Crimes; China and the U.S.; Economic Warfare; Politics in Latin America; Global Famine; Iran at a Crossroads; and Climate Migration.

To register, send a check in the amount of $35.00 to the Mattapoisett Woman's Club, P.O. Box 1444, Mattapoisett, MA  02739. Write Great Decisions in the memo.
