Policy and a Pint
Back in school, the promise of free food would guarantee a showing of students at an event, even if they weren’t actually interested in the event itself. Seems the trend these days for grownups is to combine your activity with beer.
From The Current:
The Current, The Citizens League, and The Onion are presenting another Policy and a Pint, this time at the Varsity Theater in Dinkytown on Monday, October 24. Our topic is “Community and Catastrophe: Building the Best While Preparing for the Worst” and our guests are Greater Twin Cities United Way President and CEO Lauren Segal and Al Bataglia, Minnesota’s Director of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Steve Seel will host and moderate the conversation. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and the program starts at 6:30.
From The Citizens League:
We saw what happens when disaster preparation and response fails — but how should it really work? In addition, what is government responsible for in this equation? How about the voluntary sector, businesses, and citizens? What can you do, and what can communities like the Twin Cities do to prepare and respond in a way that ensures maximum safety, service and dignity for all of our citizens. Join leadership from Greater Twin Cities United Way for an interactive and relevant conversation on what disaster preparedness and recovery means for us.
Tickets are $10 and include appetizers.
This is the first I’ve heard of Policy and a Pint, but apparently not the first time one of these events has occurred. Anybody been to one?

There’s only been one other Policy and a Pint. It was in August, at Solera, and the topic was the Supreme Court.
