I've also attached it as a Word document for you to print off and put on your noticeboard. We look forward to seeing you there. Cheers, Sharon Torstonson Council of Social Services in Chch *The Musical Chairs Seminars* *Aspects of Structural Poverty* Poverty has been compared to a game of musical chairs,[1]<#1182f8e204c940cc__ftn1>in which there are ten players but only eight chairs. Many scholars, politicians and social service providers focus on the two players left out when the music stops, and try to help them be better players. These seminars look at how and why the game is structured to produce losers in the first place, and suggest options for fairer systems. The Structural Poverty Group invites you to another of our series of seminars looking at different aspects of structural poverty. *Selling Our Sovereignty* * * *How free trade agreements limit the expansion of public / social services and restrict forever the ability of a government to act in the best interests of its own people.*** * * *Geoff White* General Manager of Trade Aid, NZ' leading alternative trade organisation *Monday 7 April 2008* Noon ? 1.30pm BYO lunch, Trade Aid tea & coffee provided *Conference Room, 2nd Floor, Christchurch Community House* 141 Hereford St, Christchurch / Otautahi Council of Social Services in Christchurch (COSS) / Te Kaunihera Kaupapa Oranga Ki Otautahi Christchurch Community House / Te Whakaruruhau ki Otautahi, 141 Hereford St, Christchurch.
