Poverty Committee Meeting and Book Discussion

Saturday, February 29, 2020, 10:00 AM

Dominican Sisters Small Meeting Room (same building; enter through the door nearest Almeda.)

We will discuss our involvement with The Nativity School and Angela House.  We will also discuss the book, The American Way of Eating, by Tracie McMillian.  

Description: When author Tracie McMillan saw foodies swooning over $9 organic tomatoes, she couldn’t help but wonder: What about the rest of us? Why do working Americans eat the way we do? And what can we do to change it? To find out, McMillan went undercover in three jobs that feed America, living and eating off her wages in each.  The American Way of Eating goes beyond statistics and culture wars to deliver a book that is fiercely honest, strikingly intelligent, and compulsively readable. In making the simple case that—city or country, rich or poor—everyone wants good food, McMillan guarantees that talking about dinner will never be the same again.

Begin...

On Wednesday, January 15, for the twelfth consecutive year, men and women gathered to hear Sr. Carol Mayes recount the story of Dominic, the Dominican Sisters of Houston and the beginning of the Dominican Family.  Once again, it was a lively gathering with 12 invitees in attendance.  While we don't yet know how many will choose to begin the Dominican Formation process, there were several others that couldn't attend the gathering but also may join the group.  A special thanks goes out to all who invited friends, colleagues and family members.  Our growth and influence begins with our personal invitation.
