Ethical society meeting

A release from the Ethical Society of Asheville...

" 'Nickel and Dimed - on (not) getting by in America' will be presented by Ethical Society member, Jane W. White with updates and hope at the September 20th meeting of the Ethical Society of Asheville, 2:00-3:30 at the Botanical Gardens Visitor Center, 151 W.T. Weaver Blvd.

"The presentation is based on a book of the same title written by Barbara Ehrenreich in 2001. Mrs. White feels deeply about the subject of "not getting by" on minimum wage salaries and believes it is even more difficult now than it was ten years ago. Solutions to alleviate this problem will be explored. There will be a discussion period following Mrs. White's presentation and, following the meeting, there will be time for informal conversation. All are welcome! For more information contact: asheville@aeu.org, www.aeu.org or 687-7759."
