9 Objectivist community clubs part 2
9.4 Carolina Objectivist Group

9.5 Chicago Objectivist Society
"COS was organized in September, 1992, for the purpose of bringing Objectivists
together for study, friendship, and promotion of the philosophy of Ayn Rand.
"We hold monthly meetings (usually on Saturday evenings), featuring live
presentations by members of the group with discussion following, or discussion
of essays or lectures by Ayn Rand, Leonard Peikoff, or other Objectivists.
"Membership is open to anyone who desires to understand and apply the ideas of
Ayn Rand. Prospective members are given a full statement of purpose and
principles, and are asked to complete a membership form, which gives us
information about the backgrounds of the members. (We use the information to
plan programs that will interest people, not as a membership "test.") Annual
dues of $10 are required to remain on our mailing list after a three-month
(free) trial period....
"Our newsletter, _Good_Premises_, is mailed monthly to all members. It features
news of COS activities, appearances by Objectivist speakers at area colleges,
and original articles by our members."

9.6 Chicago Students of Objectivism
Began as an organization devoted to listening to lecture courses from Peikoff
Lectures, until the latter went out of business. According to Director William
Breihan, "We are currently having classes, with Dr. Peikoff's permission, on
UNDERSTANDING OBJECTIVISM [Peikoff's course on how to properly and fully
understand Objectivist ideas]. We are dedicated to learning Objectivism as a
non-contradictory, integrated system. We welcome participation from anyone
interested in Miss Rand's ideas, but will not permit any any activities that
compromise the integrity of Objectivism."
