*You will be talking about this experience for years!*
*Saturday, September 13* * Join Circles at these two free workshops**:*
*Perspectives on Poverty**,* where you’ll participate in a lively, interactive group conversation and learn about the scope and challenges of poverty in Chatham County, plus how individuals and organizations can work together to help people become self-sufficient. Although a separate workshop, this is an excellent lead-in to the second workshop.
*Cost of Poverty Experience (COPE**),* a powerful simulation where you’ll get a feel for the difficulties facing low-income people. Through role play and candid conversation you will be enlightened and inspired.
You will have lots of experiences this month. *This will be the one **you’ll remember**.*
When:* 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept 13
Where:* Pittsboro United Methodist Church 71 West Street, downtown Pittsboro.
A maximum of 50 participants for the poverty simulation, so early registration is highly recommended.
*The registration deadline is Monday, September 8. To register, visit **www.circleschatham.org*
