Our mission: To have a Franklin Circle type self-directed learning group in everyone of Colorado's neighborhoods as defined by the 3000 political precincts by 2012.

Life's too short to learn from just our own experience!

Today as never before, we all need to be life-long learners.

"He who knows most knows best how little he knows." Thomas Jefferson

These are free, open meetings. You learn from each meeting, and get help if you want it to start a similar group at another time and place that would work better for you.

In 1727 Ben Franklin started the first Franklin Circle, what that first group called the Junto. It may have been Ben's best invention!

The groups are based on the most fundamental principle of adult education: Adults learn best by teaching others. There are two parts to each meeting. In the first part, members take turns to present on a topic or read a paper. In the second part of each meeting, members share around the table using a structured format.

The sharing around the table uses a set of standard questions based on those originally written by Franklin, what some say was his best invention. Members can ask for discussion or brainstorming of a problem or opportunity they currently face. Or time can be used to share what has been recently learned that might be of interest to the group.

Meetings are always lively, informative, and entertaining. But the big value to members is the learning that is stimulated between meetings. Awareness is raised by the meetings and also through a private meeting with the facilitator each month to set learning goals, to address any problems, and to encourage efforts to reach out to others through teaching, publishing, speaking, and organizing and/or facilitating other groups.

Do you sincerely want True Success? Are you willing to share your experience with peers? Then join us for our next meeting!

RSVP "no" if you can't make it, and you'll be sent a reminder next week.
