Webinar: ST Member Week Event: Book Discussion with Sam Quinones and Chuck Marohn

Copies of The Least of Us were mailed to all members of the Friends of Strong Towns program who have made significant financial contributions to Strong Towns. But the good news is that you can purchase the book on Amazon or at your local bookstore or check it out from the library. (If you don't read it, you're still welcome to attend the discussion though!)

You can find out more about his work on his website, samquinones.com
