Hi Friends.

I apology if you receive this invitation more than once.

My colleague Eddy Sterling and I will be presenting "Circles of Change: a 
quiet revolution in Haiti" at West Chester University (suburbs of 
Philadelphia) on November 15 at 5 PM

For those unfamiliar with "Circles of Change: a quiet revolution in Haiti" 
it's a 20 minute film about our growing network in Haiti using Open Space 
and Reflection Circles. This will be a traditional format. Questions and 
answers will follow.

For those in the Philadelphia area (and others?) Can you join us? Do you 
know anyone else who might be interested?
