We are lucky to be seeing so many bright sunny days. Some of us are happy to get out and enjoy these days while others prefer to settle in with a good book, a warm drink and a blanket. The day light hours have already begun to get longer. We have enjoyed our interest groups, fall programs, and outstanding speaker this fall. In November Dr. Christopher Di Carlo presented a thought-provoking overview of critical thinking. What is critical thinking? It is defined as: “the application of logical principles, rigorous standards of evidence and careful reasoning to the analysis and discussion of claims, beliefs, and issues.” As a university professor, Dr. Di Carlo’s presentation highlighted many examples where scientific facts were sacrificed for political correctness. One example was a senior police official who was deemed racist when describing the colour of young offenders identified as having used guns in the conduct of a crime. Dr. Di Carlo spoke of his own experience where a group of his student felt discriminated against and had him fired from his post at his university. It is a sign of the times that society is so vulnerable to the strength of political correctness vs scientific fact. We were left with a thought-provoking overview of current societal norms. Many members purchased his books to explore the topic in greater depth. Our December meeting was a celebration of our members in their Christmas sweaters enjoying Christmas treats and singing along with the members from the Burlington Women’s Welsh Choir. They had a festive program of old familiar tunes and invited us to sing along. If you are a music lover and enjoy singing, The Welsh choir is always looking for new member and by the way you do not have to be Welsh!! Donations were accepted at the meeting for Armagh House. CFUW Members have always been generous supports of Armagh House, and this year was no exception This spring will bring our annual card afternoon on April 23rd, 2025. More information will be available in February. We welcome members who would like to help with the afternoon. The more the merrier. How to celebrate our final meeting of the year? The membership voted on a picnic lunch. Although last year was rained out, we are optimistic this year will see perfect weather. Wishing all members a very happy and healthy New Year and we look forward to informative and entertaining meeting ahead. Mary Cousins- CFUW Mississauga Co-President |
