I am hosting a lunch this Thursday, October 29 at Restaurant Nora.  I'm
inviting a good number of thoughtful social sculptors, people who think
seriously about what America's social contract should look like from a
variety of perspectives -- so diversity will be in the room -- and each
guest is a VIP to me.  Randi Weingarten, of the American Federation of
Teachers, and I have been talking for some time that while many look to
school rooms to change social patterns, there is a much broader set of
society's stakeholders that need to be part of the equation.

I hope you might consider joining this discussion, which I will help
facilitate, on what a better, healthier social equation looks like -- and
what institutional arrangements need to be redrawn, even disrupted.  The
goal here is to look at what factors really move the needle in generating
healthier, smarter, sustainable communities.

I know it's short notice -- but I think that this will be worth it.  We
will be in the main entry at Restaurant Nora -- assembling at noon, with
our discussion beginning at 12:30.  Done, I promise, by 2 pm.   AFT is
generously underwriting the lunch.

Details again are:
