TOWARD ONE WAUSAU
Do you view Wausau as warm and welcoming? Or are people of different backgrounds viewed differently – maybe negatively? Here’s your chance to voice your thoughts at the final Toward One Wausau community dialogue on September 18 at the UW Center for Civic Engagement, 625 Stewart Avenue, Wausau.

WHAT’S A WOMAN WORTH?
Please join us for an afternoon of learning and lively conversation on a topic of concern everywhere in our society: wage (and often power) inequalities that women continue to face in the workplace. Wage disparity not only adversely affects women and their families all their working lives, but in retirement as well. This discussion puts all of these topics on the table.
“What’s a Woman Worth?” will be held Thursday, September 14 at WEAC Region 3 Office, 1136 N. Military Road in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The time is 1 to 3:30 p.m.
There is no charge. You do not need to register. For more information, you may call Joyce Luedke, 715-359-6595.

PITY THE NATION BY LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI
PITY THE NATION BY LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI
Pity the nation whose people are sheep,
And whose shepherds mislead them.
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced,
And whose bigots haunt the air waves.
Pity the nation that raises not its voice,

And aims to rule the world with force and by torture.
Pity the nation that knows no other language but its own
And no other culture but its own.
Pity the nation whose breath is money
And sleeps the sleep of the too well fed.
Pity the nation----oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erode
And ...
