Event Description:
We're so happy our Ben Franklin Circle takes place on March 25 starting at 4:00PM and ending at 5:30PM.
Our first two virtues include:
Silence. Ben Franklin’s precept “Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself. Avoid trifling conversation.”.
Temperance, of which Ben Franklin wrote: “Eat not to dullness and drink not to elevation.”

Circle Process we will use:
- First 40 minutes we'll focus on one of the two virtues: What does it mean? How has everyone applied it? How can this be scaled?
- Next 40 minutes: Questions that this dialogue raises for you?
- Final 10 minutes Focus on next month's virtues Resolution. “Resolve to perform what you ought. Perform without fail what you resolve.” What is this virtue about? How will we commit to it?
