Bridging the Divide group meets Sept. 12

Menifee Bridging the Divide is a group formed by and for Menifee residents to bring together members of the local community. We actively seek to bridge divisions that have arisen in regards to politics, race, religion, and other factors. All Menifee residents are welcome, as are members of neighboring communities. We do not argue or try to change people’s minds. There is no hidden agenda. We just want to build trusting and respectful relationships among our neighbors, while recognizing and respecting our differing opinions and values.

Our next meeting is Monday, Sept. 12 at the new Menifee Library on La Piedra and Menifee Road. Please arrive around 5:20 so we can get started right at 5:30. The meeting runs until 6:30. Our topic for this week’s discussion will be the events of Jan. 6 and the subsequent Jan. 6 Hearings. Was Jan. 6 harmful? What are the costs and benefits of ignoring the events of that day? These are just a couple of the questions we’ll be discussing in small groups (4-6) on Monday evening.

We will also give details of our next social event on Saturday, Sept. 17. (Hint: Pasta Bar!) Please join us!
