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)
- ENJOY LIVE OPERA PERFORMANCES FROM THE MET IN NEW YORK
Facilitator: Mark Minor This interest group is for beginners to the world of grand opera. On several Fall Saturdays, we will meet for lunch in Lexington (locations to be chosen by the group)at about 11 am. Over lunch, the leader will explain a little about how to understand and enjoy opera, summarize what to watch, and listen for, in the particular opera to be experienced that day. Then a little before 1 pm, we will move to the movie theater at Hamburg or Fayette Mall for the live performance of an opera from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center in New York. First broadcast will be October 5th & they come about every three weeks until the last one on May 10, 2014. Costs are your lunch plus $20-22 admission to the movie theater. - GENEALOGY, THE SEARCH: SHAKING THE FAMILY TREE!
Facilitator: David Muncy. This SIG will be held at the Trinity Christian Fellowship Church, 537 W. Main St., in Morehead. Meeting dates are: Saturdays, October 12, 19, 26, Nov. 2, from 10 am to 12 noon. Exploring our family trees can be challenging and fun. Let's examine the many new on-line sites available for searching and discuss off-line sources available in developing solid family trees. We will share case histories, family stories, pictures and discuss how these items can be located, documented and preserved. WiFi is available, so feel free to bring your lap-top or iPad, however it is not necessary that you have these items. Handouts will be provided, but you may also want to take notes. For more information contact: Dave Muncy at themuncy@yahoo.com.
Coffee will be provided. Limit: 25 - NON-FICTION BOOKS OF INTEREST, IMPORTANCE & IMPACT
Facilitator: Alban Wheeler. Join us as we get together to discuss a variety of non-fiction books. SIG members brainstorm and choose which books will be discussed in the coming months. We typically gather at 2 pm, on the 2nd Monday of each month at Coffee Tree Book Store. - SPANISH CONVERSATION - BEGINNING & INTERMEDIATE PRACTICE
Facilitator: Sarah Cano. This SIG continues to evolve. It meets on Tuesdays from 1:30- 3 pm, starting Sept. 17th, in the Rowan County Public Library and is for people who have a basic to intermediate knowledge of Spanish and want to practice and enjoy. A book is no longer used and participants can talk about anything that interests them. Some topics, for example, are: current events, books and magazines, Spanish food and culture. The group also works together on puzzles and practice exercises. It is a fun chat group.
