Free event.

Join us for our next Socratic potluck! Guests eat while discussing pre-announced thought-provoking questions.

And then (because this is also a pool party), continue talking about anything and everything while getting in the pool, or sitting poolside, as they prefer.

The Questions
(provided by the host) Someone whose personality or behavior has really irritated you in the past will be at the same event that you are going to, or has been assigned to work on the same project as you. What do you do?
[Other questions will be provided by guests who RSVP:]
• If freedom is about being able to do whatever you want, do animals have more freedom than humans?
• ______
• ______

Examples of PAST Questions: In case you are unfamiliar with the "Socratic Potluck" format, here are some examples of guest-provided questions that were discussed in the PAST:
• If you could require that all high school students watch one non-documentary movie in order to graduate, what movie would you pick?
• At what age were you the happiest and why?
• What is a way you try to stay motivated in a rough time?
• If you could interview anyone who would it be and why?

This will be the seventh such event hosted by Clark and Kathy during the year. All of these events have filled up. This type of event is very popular. So if you want to attend, RSVP soon, before space runs out.

The hosts had planned to take a break from hosting these events after Summer was over. But early December in Tempe is still warm enough for this outdoor event, and the temperature of the water might still be fine to swim in!

What to Bring: Guests may bring any type of food. Enough to feed about 10 to 12 people. Bring a main dish, salad, side dish, etc. When you RSVP, we strongly encourage you to specify what you will bring, so that others who RSVP can see what foods are on the list, and so that we can have a more balanced meal. You can always change your mind about what you are bringing.

Also bring: A swimsuit and a towel (if you plan to swim).
