The Whiteside Forum is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit community group which sponsors presentations and discussions of issues of importance and interest to the public. Issues chosen for conferences have an international dimension as well as local interest and importance. The organization is supported entirely by individual, special and business contributions and all events are free and open to the public.

Current Events

Please refer to the community calendar for the City of Morrison on http://www.thecity1.com/ for upcoming events.

The Whiteside Forum steering committee usually meets on the 4^th Thursday of every month at 7:00 pm in the program room of the Odell Public Library (307 South Madison Street, Morrison, IL). Presentations by guest speakers are often included in our September, October and January meetings. A book is selected during the year that is related to and will help set the stage for our annual conference topic and is discussed at our February meeting. Anyone interested in international affairs and other important social issues are invited to join us and to share their opinions and insight.
