The following
offerings listed below are based on feedback from class members
concerning topics they want to address and how they
want to address those topics. Some members feel
very strongly that they prefer discussion groups to
be open to class members only. That will be the
case. However, the panel is open to spouses and
partners. There will also be a guided walk around
the lake at this time.
Questions
under the discussion groups are those facilitators
will introduce. They are included to help members
make an appropriate choice about which group to
join. Of course, other thoughts related to the
topic are welcome at that time.
Please email
your preference to either Sherley Goodwin Smith (sherley_smith@msn.com)
or Myra Warren Isenhart (misenhar@du.edu).
That way, we can approximate how many chairs to set
up for each of the 3 events.
