SUMMARY:Library: Great Decisions Group Discussion – U.S. Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room\, Acton Memorial Library\, 486 Main Street\, Acton\, MA\, 01720\n \n\nGreat Decisions is America’s largest discussion program on world affairs. The program model involves reading the Great Decisions Briefing Book and meeting in a Discussion Group to discuss the most critical global issues facing America today. This months topic will be on U.S. Leadership. A short article is available from the Great Decisions briefing book. Please read it ahead of the meeting. It is available in the library. \nUnder President Biden\, the U.S. has advanced new ideas about trade\, technology\, industrial policy\, competition with China\, and the organization of the world economy. For most of the postwar era\, the U.S. has tied its global leadership to cooperative agendas aimed at creating a more open-world trading system\, but that has apparently come to an end. What are America’s options and opportunities as a leader of the world economy? How will America’s “foreign policy for the middle class” and strategic competition with China impact its leadership role? How can the postwar rules and institutions of the world economy be made safe for economic nationalism and great power competition? \nReasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities are available upon request by emailing library@actonma.gov.

SUMMARY:Iron Work Farm living history:  “How Mummers Saved Christmas”
DESCRIPTION:What did the colonists celebrate before Thanksgiving and Christmas? \nCome to the Faulkner House at 5 High Street and discover the clandestine way the American colonists celebrated the Yuletide season. Christmas celebrations were disguised as other celebrations\, and the colonists disguised themselves\, as well. We will gather by the bonfire for song\, revelry and a raucous mummers’ play just as the early Americans did. Learn how celebrating Christmas could land you a fine\, a day in the stocks or even jail! \nThis is a great way to start the holiday season and to begin the revelry–at the oldest house in Acton. \nParking on site or nearby.  Check www.ironworkfarm.org for details.

SUMMARY:Acton COA Presents Deep Ocean Life with Harvard University Professor Peter Girguis
