Current Events Discussion Group nTina Lewis
The Current Events Group consists of lively discussions of current events, from local to international. Informed comments are voiced from across the political spectrum, from liberals to conservatives. Some prefer to just listen and learn, others offer to moderate. Whatever your comfort level, you will be welcomed when you join us. The discussions are moderated by volunteers within the group, and microphones are passed around to enable everyone to hear. A $1 donation is requested.

Would you like to join a Boomers “Wine and Dinner for Eight” group?
Each group will consist of four couples (a couple can be two women or two men, friends, etc.). This group will meet four times within a six month time period and will rotate houses. You would be joining for the July through December 2017 rotation. The host couple prepares the main dish, and each
couple brings either an appetizer, a salad, or a dessert. The group rotates so that each couple is responsible once for each category. In addition, each couple brings a bottle of wine. Each group will have an experienced leader to help with organization. At the first get-together everyone brings their calendars, and dates are selected for the remainder of the six-month period. This group is for people who enjoy cooking, drinking wine, and the company of others. Each six months, the groups will change with the idea of being with a new group of people the next six months. In the last rotation, there were four groups of Boomers participating. Now it is time to rotate, sign up new members, and start with new groups for the July through December 2017 cycle. Individual emails have already been sent to existing Dinner for Eight members and they are now ready to open the groups to new interested Boomer members. Once you make a commitment, since there is a lot of work involved, we appreciate it if you honor your commitment. This format is based on one the Santa Rosa Newcomers Group uses. You will need to be able to seat eight people for dinner, but two tables could be used if yours is too small. If you have any questions send them to Bonnie Dunn-bonniebdunn@comcast. net. She will be posting the new groups by mid-June, however she will need you to respond with your confirmation by May 15. You must be a current Boomer Club member to join us.
