America Decides Today!
How is everyone feeling? We'd love to hear from you.
 The day is finally here. Chances are slim that final results will be announced tonight, but we should know by next week's newsletter. How are you feeling? Are you just ready for it to be over? Worried about the outcomes? Does one race or amendment or proposition concern you in particular? Consider taking a moment to reflect on how this election is affecting you and/or your friends and/or your family by writing a few sentences for us to share in next week's newsletter. You'll have the option of remaining anonymous in the Civitas newsletter when you fill out the form. We'll post your thoughts next week. |

Whatever you want to talk about -- Sat., Nov. 16
|
|
We're talking a lot about 'us' now as we are in the middle of campaign season. Under normal circumstances, when an election is held on Nov. 5, as it is this year, we know by Nov. 6 who the winners were. This year we run the risk of not knowing, even several weeks later. We invite you to come to Crossroads on Saturday, Nov. 16 to not only discuss where we are politically then, but also what's going on in your personal lives, how you're dealing with the possible stress of upcoming holidays and perhaps college admissions. Is peer pressure at school an issue? What about bullying? Is climate change affecting your life, or is that someone else's problem, or no one's? What's the cell phone policy at your school? Is it a good one?
Come join us at Crossroads that morning and we'll talk about whatever is on your mind as well as those of others. Click here to sign up!
