Philosophy Friday

Join  Us as we put our philosophy to the test 
with some stimulating and thought provoking 
questions. Would you ever let a blind person take

work? Would you let a blind hair dresser cut or 
color your hair? We will consider these questions 
and more. Come prepared to participate.
