For decades, Professor, Robert Putnam (author of “Bowling Alone” and “Making Democracy Work”) has studied the decline of civic engagement and its effect on the health of American democracy as well as the health of individuals. A recent feature length documentary about his quest, “Join or Die”, suggests joining a community organization/attending meetings can lead to societal health and light a path out of our democracy’s present crisis while improving mental health and longevity.

Corbett’s Grange will be showing the film “Join or Die” on Tuesday, November 7th at 6:30pm in lieu of our monthly Membership Meeting. It is our hope to bring our community together to learn more about Robert Putnam's premise and to discuss how we might inspire civic engagement. Free/with the ask of donations to cover the cost of the film.
