Understanding poverty and how it affects families, employees and the community at large will be discussed from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. workshop Friday in the meeting room of Community National Bank.

Georgia Masterson, Iola, and Anita Cooper, Chanute, will direct the program. Both work at the Social and Rehabilitative Services (SRS) office in Chanute and have lengthy experience working with the down and out. 

Frequent questions include:

— Why are those who most need work the ones who can’t keep a job?

— Why do these people seem to have crisis after crisis, excuses after excuse?

 — Why do people in poverty seem to think differently? Why don’t they have the same priorities as we do?
