Many Mariposans have expressed a desire to just talk about what has been going on in the country the last few months and feel a need to just spend time with like-minded folks and discuss it.

To that end, a salon has been planned for Saturday, March 11 at the Miner’s Roadhouse, starting at 9:30 a.m.

A salon gathering in the 1700’s

A salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste and increase the knowledge of the participants through conversation.  They started hundreds of years ago, and began to die out with the invention of television.

A host will throw out a topic and everyone can discuss it for 15 minutes.  Then the host will move on to the next topic until 90 minutes have elapsed.  Suggested topics include safe havens, patriotism, attacks on the press, and whatever important current event is occurring at that time.

This event is planned by the Mariposa Democratic Club and the public is invited.  If you would like to order breakfast for yourself, please arrive at 9 a.m.  The meeting is held in the event room at the Miner’s Roadhouse.  Free coffee and water will be provided.  A business meeting of the Mariposa Democratic Club will continue after the salon.  Join the fun and meet new friends.
