Come early starting at 5:45 -- bring a snack or dinner (Triad Stage will have wine, beer, and soft drinks for sale) and mix and mingle with other TEDx’ers. The program will start promptly at 6:30. Register soon – enrollment is limited.  THE MAY SALON: _Who belongs __in a__ city?__ _ Many Greensboro residents live with housing and employment insecurity, which leads them to a life on the streets of our city. Metro areas often struggle with fostering urban development without displacing those who are unable to relocate.  Business owners may decry panhandling, but, with limited jobs available, it can be a necessary means of survival for our most vulnerable. Those who work downtown wonder if it is better to give money to someone for temporary alleviation, or to donate to an organization that supports those in need.  As Greensboro struggles with these issues, please join us in viewing a thought-provoking TED Talk followed by a moderated discussion.  DETAILS:  TEDXGREENSBOROSALON:  _Who belongs in a city? _will be held on Wednesday, September 26, 2018 in the UpStage Cabaret at Triad Stage.
