Philosophers' Fireside Cafe
Third Friday of the month, 7– 9 pm
Fireside Room, Hewett Centre

Everyone is welcome. The evenings are as warm as our fireside, as welcoming as our carpet, as comfortable as our new chairs and as interesting as the diverse, intelligent people we attract. There is a supportive, friendly atmosphere to encourage you to participate actively and share your unique and interesting thoughts and perspectives. One thing is sure – it is a great place to learn and help others to learn.
