The Barn Blog

Chris Watson, co-founder of Changing Our World, led a brief, but highly educational discussion on philanthropy. A number of men commented on how much they learned from Chris on a subject they were previosly very ignorant about. One encouraging statistic was that the United States is the most generous nation in the world. Another was that giving comes from all socioeconomic classes, not primarily from wealthy or corporate donors, as one might think. After the talk we enjoyed a night of gambling, including roulette, blackjack, and craps. We had hoped to donate the profits to a local charity, but being summer the attendance was barely high enough to cover expenses. We’ll make up for it next time.
