Hickory International Council and the Great Decisions Meetings.



The Hickory International Council is another great reason to live in Hickory, the Friendly City in North Carolina. 


The council sponsors many different items, one of which is the Great Decisions meetings which take place on six Tuesday evenings beginning in September of each year.

We’ve been meeting now for three years, and while we haven’t really made any decisions yet, we sure have talked about many of the great decisions that are now knocking on our national and International doors demanding to be let in or responded to.  In these discussions we have several study guides, including a small book from the Foreign Policy Association of America, and roughly a 25 minute film about the topic for the evening shown before each meeting.   Here we find out what is behind and underneath the current news  stories, you know, the important stuff.  Those details that are often not covered very well on TV or on the net.  

The Hickory International Council also meets on the third Thursday of each month on the second floor of Patrick Beaver Library beginning at 5:30.  Come on by, find out what you have been missing, meet some new friends.  Reach out and touch the world.
