at the University of Georgia

Looking AheadLooking into the future is a risky business. Most of us are ambivalent because we do and don’t want to know what’s going to happen; we have mixed emo ons of wan ng to be prepared, dreading personal, poli cal or natural disaster and hoping to make a posi ve diff erence.

This fall, several OLLI programs will focus on ideas and ac ons that will aff ect us all in the near and far future.

Of special interest is “Exploring the 2012 Elec ons” led by well-known veteran poli cal scien sts Drs. Lief Carter and Robert Grafstein. Few would disagree that in the current poli cally polarized atmosphere voters need all the insight they can get into the problems facing our country. In addi on to commen ng on important issues and candidates’ campaigns, the class will consider the impact of the U.S. electoral system.

Dr. Carter will also speak at a Lunch and Lecture on “Why It’s Time to Rewrite the Cons tu on.” He will address the proposi on that “the U.S. Cons tu on, a remarkable document when created over 200 years ago, no longer serves our country well.”

A subject of cri cal concern is “America’s Economic Future,” which will be presented by Dr. Richard Bouldin, UGA professor and author of Mathema cs with Applica ons to Business, Economics and Social Studies. In these uncertain economic mes with high unemployment and shaky recovery from

recession, understanding the “new normal” in a global economy infl uences both individual inves ng and public policy.

Also with economic implica ons, a Lunch and Learn asking “Does High Speed Rail Make Sense in the U.S.?” will be moderated by Dr. Keith Poole, whose research includes the poli cal-economic history of railroads. This is especially relevant with the current planning for high-speed rail in Atlanta and the ongoing discussion of rail from Athens to Atlanta.

From a diff erent viewpoint, Dr. Be y Jean Craige, director emeritus of the Willson Center for Humani es and Arts at UGA, will discuss “The Future of Humans in the Global Bio c Community.” How people interact with the rest of nature has profound consequences for human health and the environment.

For a change from looking ahead, looking to the past at Halloween will off er seasonal facts and fun at Elizabeth Warner’s “Witches and Pumpkins and Cats, Oh My!” The course will include origins and symbols, spells and po ons and conclude with an All Hallows lunch at the re red English and Communica ons professor’s “catacombs.” Maybe someone will bring a crystal ball!

“I just con nue to be amazed at the exper se and coopera on we get from these presenters,” says Jeani Goodwin, OLLI curriculum chairman. “I’m astounded at what they have accomplished in their lives and that they volunteer to share their knowledge with us.”

OLLI@UGA Online Registration SystemBy now you may have heard the buzz. Beginning with fall registra on, OLLI @UGA is moving to an online registra on system. Over the past couple of years, OLLI has experienced phenomenal growth. A year ago, we had just over 500 members. We are now moving towards 800! With growth comes opportunity. In this case, an opportunity to improve the quality of the services we provide to OLLI@UGA members. So, what ARE the benefi ts of online registra on?

• Join or renew your membership 24 hours/day, 7 days per week• Register or check class availability 24-7• Reduce volunteer and staff me spent on registra on tasks• Immediate registra on confi rma on• Ability to place yourself on a waitlist• Pay via credit card (MC, Visa, Discover)

What about our members who prefer to register using a paper and pen? No worries! It will s ll be possible to register, using the “usual” paper forms.


OLLI@UGA Q&A: Fall 2011How are course fees determined?

All courses have a fee of $5.00 per class session. If the course is held at the Central Presbyterian Church (CP) or the Athens Community Council on Aging (CA), there is an addi onal $1.00 per class session facility use fee. When taking classes at River’s Crossing, you must pay to park ($2.00 per day per vehicle parked).

What happens if I register for a class and it is cancelled?

When a class is cancelled, class members will be no fi ed. At that me, you may indicate whether you would like a refund or if you would like to donate your class fees to OLLI@UGA. Because parking fees are separate, you must turn in your parking tags to the OLLI offi ce in order to receive a refund for the parking fees.

I’ve already paid for my parking tags, but forgot them at home; why do I have to pay again for another one?

OLLI @ UGA pre-pays for EVERY parking tag it receives. This represents a signifi cant cost to the organiza on. We suggest checking with a fellow classmate to see if one can be borrowed and then replaced at the next class session or you may stop by the OLLI offi ce to purchase a new one and use the one you forgot for a future class.

Why did my friends receive their brochure in the mail before I did?

We mail all brochures through the United States Postal Service Bulk Mail Unit on the same day. If you hear that brochures are out, you can access the online brochure at www.olli.uga.edu.

Why aren’t classroom numbers listed in the course book?

We discovered that room changes occur frequently. Our updated schedule is always posted on the OLLI Board just inside of River’s Crossing.

Are scholarships available to OLLI members?

Yes, due to the generosity of the late Carol Fisher, a tui on fund is available. Members are eligible for up to $100 assistance/semester for classes, Lunch and Learn, and Lunch and Lecture programs. Contact Katy Crapo at 706-542-5011 or [email protected]. All requests are kept confi den al.

How can I volunteer?

As a member-led organiza on, OLLI@UGA depends on its volunteers for many things. We have all kinds of volunteer opportuni es. To volunteer, contact Ann Darby, the Volunteer Coordinator ([email protected] or 706-543-7995), any Board Member or Commi ee Chair, or Zu ([email protected]) or Katy ([email protected]).

What if a friend wants to join me for a Lunch and Learn, Lunch and Lecture, or Travel/Study trip?

Membership has its privileges; however we will allow a current member to bring a guest to one of these events, if space is available. The fee will be the same that the OLLI member pays.

Evolu on of Engineering at the University of Georgia

History of engineering at the University of Georgia has had a convoluted path. UGA was the fi rst to off er a civil engineering degree in 1868 and then formed a college of science and engineering with degrees in all major engineering disciplines. During the 1930’s depression, all engineering degrees (except agricultural engineering) were transferred to Georgia Tech (established in 1885).

In 1977, Dr. Verma began an ac ve campaign to build a “school/college” of engineering at UGA. Even at a me when UGA added a new degree program in biological engineering, there was no tangible progress on building comprehensive engineering at UGA. Then in 1999, an innova ve concept for a new kind of engineering school (Faculty of Engineering) was proposed. It soon became one of the strategic ini a ves of the University for the First Decade of the 21st century, thanks to Provost Karen Holbrook who championed the new vision. On October 1, 2001, The Faculty of Engineering was established.

This presenta on will give the historical, educa onal and poli cal context that inspired the conceptualiza on of the new academic organiza on and an implementa on path. A summary of key events/achievements will show the no ceable progress made towards building a fi rst- er engineering program at UGA. Since the establishment of the Faculty of Engineering in 2001, the University of Georgia has added eight new degree programsin BioChemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Computer Systems Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical & Electronics Engineering.

Pearl Harbor: December 7, 1941

December 7 of this year (2011) marks the seven eth anniversary of the Japanese surprise a ack on Pearl Harbor on Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands. Prior to the a ack, Pearl Harbor was regarded as a key stronghold of American military power in the Pacifi c. However, on that day, it became the site of an enormous defeat for US naval and air forces on the island. Nevertheless, it was quickly reestablished as a military fortress, and, by the close of World War II, it was the most heavily defended harbor in the world.

This lecture will discuss the following points: 1) the establishment of Pearl Harbor as a military fortress in the decades prior to the Japanese carrier-based air a ack; 2) sequence of military and diploma c events leading up to the surprise a ack; 3) the events which unfolded during the a ack; and 4) the USS Arizona Memorial: its establishment and legacy.

1 session$5 plus parking

Abe Lincoln: The Debate

Lincoln died in 1865. From the day of his death to today, academics, poli cians, Internet posters, and “Coff ee Klatchers” con nue to use Lincoln to “prove” a point. Homosexuality, taxa on, gene c disorders, marriage, romance, economics, the usual “isms” (Conserva sm, Liberalism, Libertarianism, Marxism, Fascism), and on and on it goes. Lincoln is a one-size-fi ts-all vic m. Books are published every year presen ng these various arguments. This two hour course will be a “tour” of books (maybe some ar cles and/or speeches) on Lincoln, paying par cular a en on to the viewpoints of the authors and how their perspec ves tell us as much about ourselves and society as it tells us about Abraham Lincoln.

Steve W. Schaefer, born in Missouri, received his fi rst book on the 16th president from his aunt, a resident of Illinois, a.k.a., the “Land of Lincoln.” He was nine years old. This means that Schaefer has been collec ng Lincoln books for nearly 50 years. Along the way, he earned a degree in history from the University of Missouri, St. Louis; a Masters Degree in Library Science from Florida State University; and Specialist Degree in Library and Informa on Science from the University of South Carolina. He worked nearly forty years in public libraries, most recently as the director of the Uncle Remus Regional Library System.

Course #GNRL 116African American Quilters

Diane BarretTuesday, October 25, 2011

10:00 – 11:00 AMRiver’s Crossing


African American Quilters in Northeast Georgia

The area of northeast Georgia has a rich tradi on of quil ng within the African American community. In fact, it is the home of Harriet Powers, a woman born into slavery in 1831 who lived most of her life in Clarke County and whose quilts are in the collec ons of the Smithsonian Ins tu on and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Diane Barret ‘s presenta on will focus on the fascina ng story of Ms. Powers as well as introduce the audience to other African American quilters whom she has come to know over the past twenty years. Their stories and their quilts give voice to a worldview that encompasses humor and pathos, joy and sorrow. Above all it is a world where community is valued and the quil ng frame becomes a place of sharing it all. The audience is encouraged to bring in quilts that they value and would like others to see.

Dr. Diane Barret is an ar st/art educator who earned her B.C.A. in pain ng from the University of North Carolina at Charlo e in 1982 and her Ed.D. in Art Educa on from the University of Georgia in 1992, specializing in the area of art for older adults. She has published numerous ar cles on this topic and has been an invited speaker at aging and art conferences on state, regional and na onal levels. She has directed 48 Grassroots Art grants at senior centers in northeast Georgia over the past seventeen years, directed an award winning Humani es grant through the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center in 1996, and has served as Senior Outreach Coordinator for the Georgia Museum of Art since 1992. Diane’s interest in African American quilters is an outgrowth of her exposure to these women in her classes around the northeast Georgia area. She presented lectures on Harriet Powers and African American quilters in several diff erent venues. She was project director for the Harriet Powers Centennial Symposium in 2011 and served as curator for the exhibit, “Hands That Can Do: African American Quilters In Northeast Georgia” held at the Lyndon House Arts Center from October 2010 to January 2011.

Dr. Tesser started building furniture as a hobby almost 40 years ago. In 1999, he re red from academe and became more serious about designing and building furniture.

He dotes on the beauty of wood, celebra ng even the imperfec ons that might make a board special. However, wood by itself would languish without residing in a consciously-conceived shape with just the right sensual curve; the inten onal juxtaposi on of contras ng species; the smoothed, well oiled surface.

In the last few years his work has appeared in galleries, juried shows, and personal collec ons while images and stories about his work have appeared in a number of books, magazines, and news outlets. He occasionally lectures and teaches about the art of fi ne woodworking, which he has done several mes in the past for OLLI. “ Life is fun and interes ng,” he says, “but the opportunity to design and build furniture makes it even be er.”

10:00 AM– 12:00 noonRiver’s Crossing


Bartram’s Georgia: Art & Science on the Southern Fron er

More than two centuries have passed since the publica on in 1791 of William Bartram’s Travels. His descrip on of his 1773-1777 sojourns in the South was visionary, fostering the development of a truly American strain of natural history, ornithology, and botany. His wri ngs transcended scien fi c boundaries to deeply infl uence Coleridge, Wordsworth, and other Roman c poets. His text con nues to ignite the imagina ons of Southerners who love nature.

This 3-day course will explore Georgia’s landscape, fl ora and fauna, and people as William Bartram saw them nearly 250 years ago. We will also examine how Bartram’s Travels helps us create a sense of place in the modern South.

There will be an op onal two-day fi eld trip at the conclusion of the course. Please see separate course lis ng.

Course #GNRL 121Biology of Aging

Joseph HarrisFriday, November 4, 2011



Biology of Aging

This presenta on will be a systema c survey of aging in the organs of the human body. Since the longevity of systems generally exceeds life expectancy, age-related declines and death are due to disease, abuse, or absence of use. Sugges ons for decreasing disease and increasing longevity will be included.


A $2 materials supply fee is included in the cost of the course to cover handouts provided by the presenter.

Dr. Joseph Harris, a botanist with a research specialist in aging, was educated at Emory, the University of Georgia, the University of Chicago, and Duke (Ph.D.) He taught in the University of Wisconsin system and worked coopera vely on research projects at the Universi es of Texas, Tennessee, and North Carolina State which included studies in age reversal and DNA change.

Course #GNRL 122Canadian Rockies

David DallmeyerMonday through Friday, September 19 through 23, 2011



Canadian Rockies

The Canadian Rockies extend from the U.S. border more than 900 miles northward through eastern Bri sh Columbia and western Alberta, covering more than 70,000 square miles. This rugged, glacier-covered landscape represents some of the most drama c scenery in North America. Much of the area is protected by Na onal Parks and a World Heritage Site. The Canadian Rockies straddle the North American Con nental Divide with peaks exceeding more than 13,000 feet in eleva on. In contrast to the U.S. Rockies, the Canadian range is composed mostly of layered sedimentary rocks (shale, sandstone, and limestone) that have been scraped off western geological terrains and thrust eastward over bedrock of the Alberta Plains during several pulses of tectonic growth. These correlated with diff erent periods of plate tectonic ac vity along the western margin of North America during the last 200 million years. This course will examine the evolu on of the Canadian Rockies and describe processes involved in the forma on of its unique landforms. Topics will include ini al sedimentary deposi onal environments, structural geology and thrust mechanics, plate tectonic history, and glacial processes and landforms.

David Dallmeyer is Emeritus Professor of Geology at the University of Georgia and a member of the Environmental Ethics Faculty. His teaching and research have focused on the processes and chronology of mountain building and plate tectonics with fi eldwork on all con nents. He organized several research expedi ons in coopera on with the U.S. Antarc c Research Program and also has directed research programs in the Bri sh Isles, West Africa, China, Greenland, Svalbard, Norway, and the Andes of Chile and Peru. David served as director of a United Na ons (UNESCO) project that included organiza on of research excursions to Norway, Spain, Mauritania, France, and Japan. He is a frequent instructor for OLLI.

Course #GNRL 164Caravaggio

Carolyn AbneyMonday, September 19, 2011



Caravaggio – The Bad Boy (and founder) of Baroque Art [Repeat of Summer Session]

Michelangelo Merisi di Caravaggio astounded everyone who knew him – or his work. Patronized by Cardinals, Popes, and the head of the Knights of Malta, his altarpieces o en startled the groups who commissioned them – wouldn’t you be stunned to see the face of Rome’s best known pros tute presented as the Virgin Mary? He fl ed Rome a er killing a man over an argument about a bet on a tennis game and was pursued by the Pope’s police. But he s ll managed to paint giant works openly in Naples, Malta, and Sicily. And the only one he signed looks as though his signature is in his own blood. Who said the late 16th century was dull? Come learn more about the man and his work!

A er Carolyn Abney received a BA in Humani es from Emory, she said reality set in: “That is, I needed a real job! A variety of business degrees and adventures later, I had the opportunity to go back to that fi rst love - art history. I studied at the Courtauld Ins tute of Art in London. In Florence, I was able to study under Drs. Rab Ha ield and Jennifer Cook at Syracuse University as well as with John T. Spike, a Professor at the Va can and author of a reference book on Caravaggio. Since none of them can be in Athens this Fall, I’ll draw on what I learned to introduce you to the single painter whose name is men oned (so it is said) as o en as Rembrandt’s.”

Tuesdays, October 25 through November 8, 20112:00 – 3:00 PMRiver’s Crossing


Exoplanets

In the last fi een years astronomers have discovered over 500 planets that orbit other stars. Much of the search has been driven by the goal of discovering another planet like the sun. However, the exci ng part of the story is how clever scien fi c ideas can cause such an explosion of knowledge in a new fi eld and how the surprising new observa ons can completely revise old theories. The old ideas about the forma on of our solar system that you learned in high school have been replaced by fascina ng new models that also explain the hundreds of other solar systems around our neighboring stars.

100 Years of Travel Guides – 1830’s-1930’s

The class will focus on travel guides used for “GRAND TOURS” of Europe, the US and Canada from the early 1800’s through the early 1900’s, with special emphasis on the Baedekers’ Travel Guides published in English from the 1860’s up un l the

continued from page 17


late 1930’s. Published in German, French & English, Baedekers became the most widely used travel guide for almost 100 years, giving rise to the phrase, “Kings and governments may err – but never Mr. Baedeker.” Baedekers’ Travel Guides are s ll printed today; however, other travel guides and the Internet have changed Baedekers’ dominance. We will discuss informa on found in the guides – involving poli cs, business, transporta on, excava on, humor and war. From the publica on of the 1896 Athens edi on - for the fi rst modern Olympics - to Hitler’s demand that Baedeker publish a single Germany edi on in 1936 for the Berlin Olympics - when all the road names in Berlin had been changed by the Third Reich, you will learn about the travel guides of the 19th and 20th Centuries.

Randall Abney holds a BBA degree from UGA and has been involved in many businesses over his career. From childhood, he worked in the family department store; built cable television franchises; started so ware companies and co-founded a company whose technology was awarded an academy award in 2009. And many of these businesses involved travel, which Randall loves. His wife, Carolyn, gave him a 1909 Baedekers guide to Italy 22 years ago for their honeymoon there, and they have been collec ng old travel guides ever since. Today they own one of the largest private collec ons of Baedekers’ Travel Guides in English printed between the 1860’s and 1930’s.

Course # GNRL 139It’s Not Me. It’s YOU!

Alex HalowThursday, September 29, 2011



It’s Not Me. It’s YOU! -- Working With Confl ict Styles

When faced with confl ict – whether in our family, business, or community -- we all tend to react using one of fi ve iden fi able confl ict styles (coopera ng, direc ng, compromising, avoiding, or harmonizing), and we tend to react using our favorite confl ict style regardless of whether or not it is really the best way to respond, o en leading to many missed opportuni es for resolving confl icts, especially when we are trying to work

with someone who uses a very diff erent confl ict style, leaving us with the impression that they are “unreasonable” or “impossible to work with.”

Par cipants will learn their default “confl ict style,” its strengths and weaknesses, how to iden fy the confl ict styles used by others, and specifi c strategies they can use to adapt their responses to confl ict to be more produc ve.

One’s personal confl ict style will be determined by the Kraybill Confl ict Style Inventory.

This class is limited to 20 par cipants. A $5 supply fee has been added to the cost of the course to cover the cost of handouts provided by the presenter.

Alex Halow is a mediator and confl ict management consultant based in Athens. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a B.A. in Philosophy and English in 1991 and from Cornell University Law School with a J.D. in 1995.

Mythology: Stories and Life

This will be an introductory class about mythology and the important role it plays in cultures, as well as for individuals. Karen Armstrong describes mythology: “A myth was an event which, in some sense, happened once, but which also happened all the me. Because of our strictly chronological view of history, we have no word for such an occurrence, but mythology is an art form that points beyond history to what is meless in human existence, helping us to get beyond the chao c fl ux of random events, and glimpse the core of reality.”

Par cipants should purchase and read Parallel Myths, by J.R. Bierlein.

Mondays, November 7 through 21, 20119:00 – 10:30 AMRiver’s Crossing


Whales of the East Coast

The objec ve of this 3-day class is to introduce par cipants to the whales and their environments common to the United States East Coast. An overarching theme of environmentalism will be woven throughout the program.

Session 1: Whale morphology. A computerized program has been prepared to assist learners as they examine unique whale anatomy. In addi on, video and photographs of common whales found in the northeastern Atlan c will be shown.

Session 2: Understanding the cultural and economic impera ves associated with the whaling industry of the 17th to the 20th centuries. The class will also examine the environmental impacts that have resulted from that period of industrial whaling. In addi on, this session will cover current levels of ocean pollu on and our “up-stream” ac ons that cause and prevent pollu on.

Session 3: This class will concentrate on whales off the Georgia and South Carolina Coast, namely the Southern Right Whale. This whale was so named because it was deemed by whalers of the day as the “right whale to kill…” We will examine current and future prospects for the current herd of Right Whales.

Special Interest Groups (SIGS)BeadiacsMary Ann Kelly [email protected] 706-613-6311Individuals interested in beading, stringing, and simple wire work will get together once a week for three hours or so to work on their projects, brainstorm ideas and help each other when our work takes an oops! Par cipants who have no experience but would just like to see what it’s all about are welcome because beaders are happy to provide basic informa on and demonstrate techniques.

BicyclingJohn Songster [email protected] 706-548-8181The interest group was organized in the summer of 2007 and started riding ac vi es in the fall. Over the past two years, more than fi y members have par cipated. The original theme s ll holds true. “For those who long to take the drudgery out of health club exercising or want to start a fi tness program that perpetuates itself, a new opportunity to get back on a real bicycle is s ll available.”

The health benefi ts of cycling are well known and Athens off ers a wonderful environment for safe, fun biking. Although one may need to get some of the kinks out and polish riding skills, the ability to ride a bike is never lost once learned. The group will a end to those needs as well as help people get old bikes up and rolling again and advise them on new bike op ons. We also conduct “get started again” instruc on and introductory rides that will help par cipants develop their cycling growth to whatever level they wish to achieve.

Local and nearby out-of-town rides over longer distances are organized during the year for those who enjoy socializing along with their pedaling. New fresh legs are especially welcomed.

BonsaiClaire Clements [email protected] 706.548.0211 Winnie Kelly 706.548.1418The Bonsai interest group formed in the spring of 2003. This informal group meets on the 4th Thursday of each month, from 2:30 to 4:30 PM in the Brick Room at the ACCA on Hoyt Street. Bonsai, literally translated, means po ed tree. Members bring suitable plant materials to pot, and/or those already po ed, which they wish to trim, exhibit, or discuss. We have a small library of specialty books for members to borrow. We invite people from the community with relevant interests to come share with us. Field trips are made to a variety of places of interest to the group, that are within driving distance, where plants, plan ng materials and specialized tools may be purchased.

Book Discussion GroupDiana Cerwonka [email protected] 706.543.7780The Book Discussion Group meets on the second Thursday of the month in the conference/boardroom (off the lobby of the administra on building) at the Council on Aging, 135 Hoyt Street, Athens, from 3:00-4:00 p.m. Books are selected by group members’ vote. Selec ons include fi c on and nonfi c on, contemporary and classic. Discussion is informal and par cipa on is encouraged. Please feel welcome to join us at any mee ng. Call or email Diana if you have ques ons or want more informa on.

Enjoy Opera in AthensNancy Songster [email protected] 706.548.8181Our purpose is to learn more about opera, a end OLLI classes on Opera, enjoy live opera performances in the Athens area, and a end the award winning Metropolitan Opera Live in HD broadcasts at Beechwood Cinemas and the CinemaOpera broadcasts at Carmike Theatres. We support UGA opera student produc ons, share informa on about opera via email, and off er a pre-opera luncheon or supper, where the UGA opera graduate students present informa on about the current Live in HD broadcast. We have a voluntary contribu on fund to cover the cost of the students’ lunches and their opera ckets, as well as program notes for the Met Opera broadcasts. The Met Opera broadcasts are on Saturday a ernoon, October through May, with an evening encore broadcast three weeks later. Email no ces are sent out about all produc ons. The Metropolitan Opera also broadcasts a summer encore series, tles, dates and mes to be announced.

Hand Quil ngSandy Jordan [email protected] 706.546.8537The quil ng group meets on the fi rst and third Tuesdays of the month from 1-3 PM all year. We meet at members’ homes and just do hand quil ng. We have room for interested persons wan ng to learn or those who already do hand quil ng.

Happy HikersIris Miracle [email protected] 706.353.6711If you love the great outdoors and hiking is a passion or an interest, then you will want to join this group. Hikes are short and long, easy to challenging, for fi tness, fun and enjoyment of the marvels of nature. You can pick and choose as each hike is planned. We plan at least one hike a month, working up to more, if there is enough interest. There are many great hiking trails in and around Athens, but we will plan hikes to N.GA & other areas in GA. Perhaps some overnight hikes and even nearby states are possibili es. Come along, join this interest group and have fun while ge ng healthy exercise and enjoying the great outdoors.

Intermediate BridgeKathy Kasarskis [email protected] 678-661-0038This group meets on the fi rst and third Wednesdays from 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. at the ACCA, 135 Hoyt St. If you are an experienced player and would like an a ernoon of cards without the fuss of se ng up tables, making snacks and drinks (coff ee is available), we invite you to try our group.

Inves ngRon Cerwonka [email protected] 706.543.7780The Investment Group meets once a month to exchange informa on about inves ng and investments. Please note that this is not a group that plans investments for the group to make together. The group’s common denominator is a strong interest in exchanging informa on about the world of investments; no special knowledge of the fi eld is needed. Individuals a ending are encouraged to bring any material(s) that they think would be of interest to other par cipants.


Lady Dogs BasketballRandall Abney [email protected] 706.850.6148Follow the Lady Dogs Basketball team with other OLLI members. We buy season ckets for all the home games in one order, saving the $15 handling fee if you order your ckets separately. And by ordering through OLLI@UGA you sit with other OLL@UGA members in Stegman Coliseum. Last year over 80 OLLI@UGA members ordered season ckets. Members also get together for lunch at the Georgia Center before at least one of the Sunday a ernoon games. Send me an email now, and I will let you know when ckets are available. A er last year’s “Sweet 16” appearance, the team is se ng their sights this year on the “Final 4”. It’s great basketball and lots of fun. GO DAWGS!!!!

Lunch BunchMercedes Rivera [email protected] is a lively and friendly group. Its purpose is to socialize, meet new people, form new friendships and enjoy wonderful food at locally-owned Athens/Watkinsville restaurants. We get together the fi rst Tuesday of each month at 11:30AM. Please email Mercedes Rivera to be added to the monthly email distribu on list. Spouses and guests of OLLI @ UGA members are welcome to come. RSVPs are required.

Mac Fan(a c)sJim Kradel [email protected] 706.410.1958Hello to all you Mac owners. Our number grows each day. It is probably because of you that Apple has gone from 315 to 390 since the middle of June. We have been quiet this Summer, but Fall and Winter are coming, and we plan to get together and share ideas and how-tos. All new ideas and new members are welcome. Come one, come all.

MahJonggHeidi Naylor [email protected] 706.850.5013Do you already know how to play Mahjongg, or have you wanted to learn? I love to play and would love to fi nd fellow fana cs – or future ones. Several groups have started on the east and west side of Athens. Let’s get together!

Novice BridgeJimmie Hawes [email protected] 706.850.1278This group is for people who already know the basics of playing bridge, but have not played in a long me or have not played a lot. It is lovely to meet in a relaxed atmosphere, to gain experience playing the best game ever with great people just like you. This group meets at the Unitarian Universal Fellowship building, 780 Timothy Road, every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month from 1PM to 4PM. The playing fee is $3 per session.

OLLI DooWop Folk Singers Chip McDaniel [email protected] 706.549.2898Songwriter/musician Charlo e “Chip” McDaniel wants to form a singing group SIG, the OLLI Doo Wop Folk Singers. Chip writes, “Let’s ‘Sing in the Sunshine’ and celebrate the music from the 1950’s-60’s. We’ll sing some of our favorites: ‘Sh-Boom,’ ‘If I Had A Hammer,’ ‘Where Have All the Flowers Gone?‘This Land is Your Land,’ and much, much more.” She would like the members to sing the favorite Golden Oldie of each member if possible, plus two new songs she is wri ng: ”We’re Having The Time of Our Lives” and “Wake Up And Smell the Sunshine.” She hopes the OLLI Doo Wop Folk Singers could sing at some of the OLLI socials and especially prepare for a mini-concert/sing-a-long for the 2013 OLLI Regional Conference to be held

in Athens. They will meet once a month at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Athens at 780 Timothy Road ( me and dates to be announced). At least eight people are needed for the group.

Picture This! Digital Photography GroupChuck Murphy [email protected] 706.372.5406Picture This! is OLLI’s digital photography club. Members include complete novices, serious amateurs and everything in between. We typically meet one evening of the month at the River’s Crossing building, as announced to all members via email. Our mee ngs usually feature an educa onal talk on a photographic topic, with me reserved for member ques ons and a “show & tell” session where members can show off their recent work. We also schedule photo walks around Athens and trips to scenic venues and photo exhibits. Email Chuck Murphy at the address above to join.

SoloSENIORSVic Armstrong [email protected] 706.769.1110This group was organized to foster networking among OLLI @ UGA members who are over 50 and single. There is a dinner mee ng the fi rst Thursday of each month where members get acquainted and plan ac vi es together. Looking to get involved in the Athens Scene? Give SoloSENIORS a try. Bet you will have fun!

S tch and ChatKay Hymo [email protected] 706.546.7177The S tch and Chat Group meets on the fi rst Thursday of each month throughout the year at 10 AM. We meet in homes, or other loca ons, such as Main Street Yarns in Watkinsville and Em’s Kitchen on Hawthorne. Most of our members are kni ng, but bring any type of handwork and join us.

“String of Pearls” Memoir Wri ng GroupRoger Bailey [email protected] 706.540.1068Wri ng about our lives, we share our prose and poetry to learn more about ourselves and each other as we hope to write memoirs more eff ec vely in regard to both form and content. We meet from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon on the third Thursday of each month in the conference room of the Bentley Center at the Council on Aging, 135 Hoyt Street, Athens, Georgia.

Supper ClubMar Edwards [email protected] Block [email protected] 706.705.113If you love cooking and entertaining, you belong in the OLLI SIG Supper Club. We meet once a month in a member’s home, with the host/hostess choosing a theme and/or menu. The rest of the members contribute a dish to share - appe zers, side dishes, salads, and desserts. We do love cooking, sharing good food and conversa on, and having fun. Each member takes a turn in hos ng.

In January we had 10 members and in July we had grown to 30+. So far we’ve had pizza night with everyone making his/her own pizza, a burger extravaganza, a barbecue, Mexican, a cooking class with a real chef, Mediterranean, and a pool party. In the fall we’ll have three diff erent dinner groups, and then we’ll all get together once a quarter for a big party with even more food.

In September we will have a party to welcome new members so, if you’ve been thinking about joining, now is the me! Call Mar Edwards 706-705-1136 or email [email protected]. We love new members!
