What is an OLLI Special Interest Group?
A Special Interest Group is a group of OLLI Members who have a common interest. Special interest Groups (SIG) get together at a location of their choosing on their own schedule, determine their own content and events, set their own directions, and exist as long as there is interest. Learning can be formal or informal and flexible, including meeting to share experiences. At this time we have 4 interest groups beingstarted. Sign up for those that interest you, information on the first meeting will follow. (Persons must be a current OLLI member to participate, there are no additional fees for SIGs)
 BRIDGE FOR ENJOYMENT & UNDERSTANDING: This is an invitation to join our bridge playing group at the Rowan County Public Library from 3 to 4:30 p.m.,
starting on Tuesday, March 6 and followed by weekly sessions thereafter. Cards and tables will be provided and tips will be given relating to bidding, play of the hand, and defensive play. A good source of information is the book Bridge for Dummies by Eddie Kantar which is well written, easy to understand, and guide for improving your understanding of the game.
CREATIVE WRITING PROJECTS: Do you have a writing project in mind or do you just want to hone your writing skills? Come prepared to have fun getting started on or continuing a project, sharing and critiquing each other's work, and enjoying writing exercises. The group typically meets the 1st & 3rd Monday of each month, from 4 to 5:30 pm at the Morehead United Methodist Church.
NON-FICTION BOOKS OF INTEREST, IMPORTANCE & IMPACT: Join us as we get together to discuss a variety of non-fiction books. At the first meeting, SIG members will brainstorm and choose which books will be discussed in the coming months. The SIG typically gathers at 2:00pm on the 2nd Monday of each month at Coffee Tree Book Store. First meeting is on March 12th.
SPANISH - BEGINNING & INTERMEDIATE: This SIG, held 1:30 - 3:00pm on Tuesday afternoons starting March 6th at RCPL in the small conference room, is for people who have a beginning knowledge and want topractice Spanish. It is  appropriate for inter-mediate level students and as a refresher course as well. Students work in pairs, or groups, in an informal,
re-laxed setting, help each other and can work at their own pace. Hispanic culture is also included. Students share interests in music, food, customs, etc. The textbook is Spanish for Communication by Jarvis/Levredo, 4th ed. (D.C. Heath and Co., 1992), and can be bought used on-line.
