The public is invited to examine the topic, “Ending the Culture of Violence - Hearing the Youth Perspective.” Those concerned about recent current events, and who desire to learn about what our local youth are doing can attend a meeting Thursday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m., in the Royal Oaks Room of the Medical Arts Building at the corner of H and Ash in Oakdale. This event is the second in a series of four meetings planned and sponsored by the local American Association of University Women, Oakdale Riverbank and Escalon Branch (AAUW ORE), as a follow-up to their successful March 19, 2015, meeting held to address the multi-faceted problem of violence currently experienced in our culture today.
