Greetings WPA Chestertonians!

At our February meeting of 2013 we will continue discussing the book 
In Defense of Sanity , edited by Dale Ahlquist, published by Ignatius Press. 

The book is available online from the American Chesterton Society (http://www.chesterton.org/store/#!/~/product/id=7298739) 
and also at Amazon 
(http://www.amazon.com/Defense-Sanity-Best-Essays-Chesterton/dp/1586174894). 
It is also possible (I would call first) to find it at your "local" Barnes & Noble, or at the Gospa bookstore in Evans City. 

The meeting will be held in the Village of Middle Lancaster, at the Lancaster Township Community Center located on Kings Alley and Community Center Drive, in Butler County PA. Kings Ally is a right turn off of Rt. 19N, approx. 4.5 miles north of Zelienople, just past the Zion Lutheran Church. (The Community Center is a former one room school house, adjacent to the ball fields at Bauder Park.) The doors will open at 7:00pm for pot luck refreshments, with the discussion beginning at 7:30. We will wrap up around 9:30pm.
