Course Catalog OLLI@UGA
January through June 2014 The World Around Us Looking forward to the blooming of spring and appreciating the beauty of the season leads to consideration of the environment that makes it possible. OLLI’s spring curriculum with 13 ecology-themed courses provides an opportunity to explore the health of Mother Nature, as well as the rewards of her bounty.
administrator Suki Janssen and including field trips to the ACC landfill and recycling facility. What happens to all that waste is a mystery to many, but Janssen explains that recycled items become raw material for manufacturing new products. “One example is that many plastic water and soft drink bottles are recycled into carpet, right here in the state of Georgia.”
“Many of us are interested in the environment, in the impact we humans are having on the rest of nature, in the pollution of our planet, in the ways we can live more sustainably in the future,” says curriculum director Dr. Betty Jean Craige.
According to Janssen, “Here in Athens, recycling seems to work as we receive about 80 tons of recovered material a day at a profit of about $10/ton and employ over 50 folks locally.” Other OLLI courses in the ecology field cover a range of subjects including climate change, energy sources, gardening and health. The spring curriculum also includes academic subjects, the arts, fitness and finance.
One contentious issue in Georgia and neighboring states is Atlanta’s water usage from Lake Lanier, created when Buford Dam was completed in 1957 on the Chattahoochee River, which then flows on to Alabama and Florida. Lake Lanier is regulated by the U.S. Corps of Engineers. “This has actually been in court since 1990 and the dispute was going on before then,” explains Dr. Jim Kundall, whose course, Water: Being Neighborly—Georgia’s Interstate Water Tiffs, Disagreements, Disputes and Wars, focuses on the complex legal and environmental conflicts involved. Kundell served as Georgia General Assembly science advisor for 30 years and is chairman of the Environmental Advisory Board to the chief of the Corps of Engineers.
“We offer OLLI members the opportunity to choose among 144 courses selected to appeal to our many different interests,” Craige says. “Is 144 too many? I say, No. Not for 1,000 OLLI members eager to stay intellectually lively. OLLI is our college. We want to study what we have never had time to study before.”

“Although we have been in court for over 20 years, we have never gone to the Supreme Court, which is the court for interstate disputes,” Kundell says. “Alabama sued other interests but not the State of Georgia; now the governor of Florida says it will file for the Supreme Court, which takes it up a notch.” At the present time, the Corps of Engineers is developing an operations plan, which has not been updated for 15 years, and that will determine what happens next. “We are letting the Corps do its job and we’ll go by that.”

This class is an exciting postscript to a “first” in OLLI@UGA travel offerings. It will be a chronological account of personal experiences while on the OLLI Travel Study African Safari to Botswana and Zambia in summer (winter in the southern hemisphere) of 2013. Graphics, photographs and videos collected while on the safari will be used to describe and document the adventure. Questions will be entertained during the presentation.
Do you wonder how 200 tons of metal magically lift off the ground and get you to your destination? And what are those strange noises you hear as you make your journey? Why should you really “don your oxygen mask first before assisting others?”
John Songster
John is an OLLI@UGA member and enthusiast. He will lead the presentation by members of the OLLI African Safari Travel Study group. Other members who will contribute to the presentation are Bruce Jacobson, Dortha Jacobson, Cheryl BeMent, Tish Rumsey, Craig Greene, Diana Yoder and Ruta Abolins.
African American Freedom Struggle: Two Graphic Novels Barbara McCaskill
Wednesdays, April 16 and 23, 2014 2:30 - 3:45 PM River’s Crossing 2 sessions 14.00 plus parking
During the 1950s and 1960s, the world’s eyes turned to freedom struggles of southern African Americans. This class will discuss graphic novels about this turn in Civil Rights Movement history: DARKROOM: A Memoir in Black and White (2012) by Lila Quintero Weaver and March Book 1 (2013) by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell. We will examine how these works consider perspectives such as the participation of women and the quiet activism of ordinary citizens, as well as revisit milestone moments such as the Selma to Montgomery march, sit-ins and freedom rides, and the integration of public schools. Prior to the first day of class, students should read the aforementioned novels, ISBN 0817357149 and 1603093001, respectively. Barbara McCaskill is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Georgia, where she has taught for twenty-one years. She has co-directed the Civil Rights Digital Library and the Freedom on Film project. Her numerous publications on nineteenth- and twentieth-century African American literature and culture include Post-Bellum, Pre-Harlem with Caroline Gebhard (NYU, 2006), a forthcoming book on William and Ellen Craft (UGA Press), and a pedagogical edition of the Crafts’ 1860 memoir (UGA, 1999).
Jim Johnson
This course is intended to shed some light on how airplanes fly, how they are operated, and how they are designed and built. The course will try to soothe some of the fears of the white-knuckle flyers, as well as answer questions for the intellectually curious. Jim Johnson has some 40 years of experience in the aircraft industry - 20 years flying and designing airplanes for the USAF and another 20 designing and building them for the Boeing Company. Jim has over 3,000 hours of operational flying, mostly in Special Forces aircraft, and over 4 million airline passenger miles supporting both domestic and international customers for Boeing. He holds advanced degrees in aerospace engineering and recently retired as a Program Manager for Boeing.
Analyzing Current Affairs Lief Carter, Robert Grafstein
Wednesdays, January 15, February 19, March 12, April 23, 2014 1:45 - 3:45 PM River’s Crossing 4 sessions 20.00 plus parking
In three monthly meetings this semester, this group will analyze and discuss the deeper dynamics and anticipated consequences of the leading stories in the news. One such story obviously will be the November national U.S. elections, but we will address whatever topics seem important and “hot” at the time. Professors Carter and Grafstein will coordinate and lead the discussions, and several members of the U.G.A. political science department have also agreed to lend their expertise, if topics in their specialties arise. If this course is successful and popular, it is anticipated that it will be offered in the same format in future OLLI semesters. Dr. Carter received his A.B. from Harvard College in 1962 and a law degree from Harvard Law School in 1965. He was a Peace Corps volunteer (Bolivia) in 1966-67 and received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1972. Dr. Carter taught political science at the University of Georgia until 1995. He twice received UGA’s Josiah Meigs Teaching Award. He became the McHugh Family Distinguished Professor at Colorado College in 1995 and became a professor emeritus at the College in 2008. He is the author of The Limits of Order, Reason in Law, Contemporary Constitutional Lawmaking, and many other articles, books, and book chapters. His interests include music, cinema, and current affairs.

Android/Google Phone & Tablet Use Gabriel Schmidt
Wednesday, June 11, 2014 10:30 - 11:45 AM River’s Crossing 1 session 8.00 plus parking
Most of what anybody could do on any modern apparatus of technology is far more than what they really need to do. Oftentimes instruction requires learning more than you want and makes learning to do what you most need, discouraging. Bring your Android/Google phone or tablet to learn what you want to learn. Gabriel will suggest what is important, such as many unknown settings, and will demystify other useful functions. Gabriel Schmidt is a consummate educator and trainer, with formal education and degrees in Liberal Studies, Philosophy, Education and Vocational Rehabilitation. He has training and/or certification in a range of areas including Yoga, Qigong, Reiki, Yoga Therapy and Psychology. Additionally he is self-trained in working with the modern technologies that simplify our lives. The overall goal of his work is to foster greater self-understanding and personal development in others, while his techniques and style are principally therapeutic in nature. Gabriel is well traveled and bilingual in Spanish. Also, assisting others in finding their place with new technologies, in order to enjoy and participate in a modicum of what youth takes for granted is an important contribution to his over-50 peers.
Animation for TV, Film, and Stage Michael Hussey
Wednesday, April 30, 2014 1:00 - 2:15 PM River’s Crossing 1 session 8.00 plus parking

Antiques: Caring for The Family Jewels Jill Jayne Read
Friday, January 31, 2014 10:30 - 11:45 AM River’s Crossing 1 session 8.00 plus parking
Many well-intentioned owners of antiques have damaged these objects through lack of care or improper care. The value of antiques is often predicated upon condition and “patina”. This class will offer simple methods of upkeep and repair of antiques. Thomas Jefferson’s “secret” furniture balm will be revealed, along with where to find the right materials for repair and upkeep. We will also discuss how to detect age and identify style and source of creation. An avid student of American antiques, Jill has been studying, collecting, and restoring antiques since she was a teenager. She has been the Proprietor of two businesses that sold antiques and artworks. She currently appraises antiques for insurance and tax purposes. The child of an art teacher and artist, Jill grew up in an area where artworks made by unschooled artists were commonplace. Combining her mother’s teaching of Fine Art History and the exposure to folk art, she developed an appreciation for the beauty, sometime whimsy, and aesthetic value of objects made purely because of the desire to create. She is the Founding Director of Kentucky Folk Art Center, a museum devoted to Kentucky art.
Astrology: A Model for Systems Gabriel Schmidt
Wednesday, June 4, 2014 10:30-11:45 AM River’s Crossing 1 session 8.00 plus parking
The seasons, like time, business models, and many other elements of our life -natural or man-made- can be seen or defined as “systematic”, including human life itself. Beyond dubious pop uses of astrology, such as making predictions or simplistic personality profiles, astrology is a more complex “soft” science, a close ally to both psychology and certain spiritual belief systems. Gabriel will present a side of astrology aimed at self-understanding, overcoming personal limitation, and self-development. And we can have a little fun too! Gabriel Schmidt is a consummate educator and trainer, with formal education and degrees in Liberal Studies, Philosophy, Education and Vocational Rehabilitation. He has training and/or certification in a range of areas including Yoga, Qigong, Reiki, Yoga Therapy and Psychology. Additionally he is self-trained in working with the modern technologies that simplify our lives.

Recently trained by Al Gore and his Climate Reality Project, Rich will blend Mr. Gore’s riveting and inspirational slides on climate change with his personal journey facing Vietnam’s carnage and his father’s role as secretary of state. “I learned how NOT to deal with Inconvenient Truths,” said Rich. An avid fly fisher and climate activist, Rich’s work with fellow Trout Unlimited fishers offers clues on rallying Americans at the grass roots. “Climate change threatens not only our trout and salmon, but the planet’s ecology and everything we hold dear in life.” Rich hopes to trigger vigorous discussion AND engagement. Born in 1946, Rich joined the Marines after high school in D.C., studied political science at Cornell, then lived 14 years in Nome, Alaska where he fished for salmon, built houses, taught in Eskimo schools and co-founded a weekly newspaper. Moving to Athens in 1984 to co-author his dad’s memoirs (Dean Rusk), Rich married the former Janice Turner, did civil rights work and now focuses on climate change. Why? “Four kids and fly fishing.”

Did our abuse of the environment begin with the Old Testament? Is nuclear power a curse or a blessing? Was the German Nazi Party a party of ecology? Jonathan Krell teaches modern French literature at the UGA. His current research interests are in the contemporary French novel and its relationship to ecology. Previous research centered on myth criticism, especially concerning the fiction of Michel Tournier. He is the author of The Ogre’s Progress: Images of the Ogre in Modern and Contemporary French Fiction (2009) and Tournier élémentaire (1994), and translator of Michel Tournier’s Le Miroir des Idées and Eléazar (1998, 2002).

Energy is a mystery, but we know it works. Now commonplace, radio waves and X-rays were once unheard-of. Today, we’re harnessing energy whether developing technology or healing with Reiki therapy in hospitals. Energy Healing, an accepted therapeutic modality, is rooted in the belief that life force energy flows throughout our bodies. When life stresses pile up, this energy can be blocked, causing emotional or physical distress. In this course, we’ll explore two effective methods of energy work - dowsing and crystal energy - which can restore the flow and balance of energy, creating feelings of well-being and stability. We suggest you bring a pendulum or a pair of L-rods to class. We will bring a few pairs of simple L-rods for class members to use. Please feel free to contact Laurie Hart if you need more information about these simple dowsing tools. Laurie Hart is professor emerita in the UGA Department of Elementary Education and a former middle school and high school mathematics teacher. She has had a life-long interest in energy healing and has studied with several master healers. She teaches classes on Healing through Pendulum Dowsing, Energy Medicine, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and Numerology. Laurie works with clients individually and in small groups, in person and via telephone. Cindy Watlington is a retired educational administrator and Fortune 50 executive, an international author and artist, and a practitioner of energy healing. She has been a student of energy healing for over 40 years, and her energy work has been recognized worldwide for two decades. Her popular gemstone jewelry line has sold internationally since 1987. In retirement, Cindy seeks new ways of spreading energy healing to comfort our world.

This course uses three books (Dawkins’ The God Delusion, McGrath’s The Dawkins’ Delusion and Miller’s Finding Darwin’s God) with very different points of view to explore questions about religion, the existence of God, and
OLLI Course Catalog
the relationship between belief in God and belief in science. The instructor will describe each of the books and his reaction to them on a first reading, but follow that with what he found after a second reading -- very changed reactions to each. Lest anyone be uncertain about the class theme, it has more to do with how atheists and believers should deal with one another than whether to be an atheist or a believer. Discussion will follow. Professor Dale Goodhue teaches Management Information Systems at UGA. With no formal training in religion or philosophy, his only qualifications for teaching this course are that he is a thoughtful person. Raised Presbyterian, he “converted” to atheism in about the tenth grade. Always pretty quiet about his beliefs, he changed that after reading Dawkins’ The God Delusion a few years ago. McGrath’s The Dawkins’ Delusion and Miller’s Finding Darwin’s God made him think again.

Courage, entrepreneurship, and innovation are at the center of journalism’s new ecosystem. Traditional providers of journalism - whether newspapers, magazines, or television - have been disrupted by technology. Today, consumers of news can get any news they want, wherever and whenever they want it. No longer are they passive consumers, but instead active participants. How are courage, entrepreneurship, and innovation at the center of journalism’s new ecosystem? Many journalists voluntarily or involuntarily find themselves separated from journalism’s traditional institutions. Some of the best are embracing entrepreneurship as an opportunity to innovate, to experiment with journalism - and to earn a living in the process.

Louisiana’s Earnest J. Gaines: An Introduction to his Life and Works John Wharton Lowe
Monday, February 3, 2014 1:00 - 3:45 PM River’s Crossing 1 session 8.00 plus parking
This class will focus on the inspiring story of a Louisiana writer who grew up on a sugar plantation, with little access to education. He was raised by his disabled aunt, who as he says, “never walked a step in her life, but taught me the importance of standing.” Gaines joined his parents in California in 1948, and went on to receive a college degree, served in the Army, and attended Wallace Stegner’s Writing Workshop at Stanford. After years of struggling to make it as a writer (his excellent first two novels and a short story collection received little initial notice), he struck gold with The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, which told the story of a 110 year old woman; born a slave, she experiences Reconstruction, the Depression, and the Civil Rights Movement. The book was made into a celebrated film, and made Gaines self-sufficient. His other novels include Catherine Carmier, Of Love and Dust, In My Father’s House, A Gathering of Old Men and A Lesson Before Dying, which Oprah Winfrey selected for her book club. The novel was made into a celebrated film, and Romulus Linney dramatized it for the stage. Gaines, who lives in South Louisiana, has just completed two novellas at the age of 80, and was recently awarded the National Arts Medal by President Obama.

January - June 2014, Page 29
Long before Edward Jenner developed vaccination to prevent smallpox, the colonial city of Boston erupted not only with a smallpox epidemic, but with a now-forgotten preventive technique called inoculation. This highly controversial treatment pitted the city’s Puritan clergy against its physicians, but surprisingly the clergy were on the side of medical progress, while the medical establishment was opposed. Famous figures like Cotton Mather and Benjamin Franklin took sides in a pamphlet war not unlike today’s internet battles. This historical medical debate is not only fascinating in its own right, but can provide insight into today’s health controversies.

Medicine History and Mystery Nan McMurry
Monday, May 12, 2014 2:30 - 3:45 PM River’s Crossing 1 session 8.00 plus parking
One of the hardest challenges for historians of medicine is the identification of diseases that people suffered from in the past. We cannot examine historical patients for ourselves, and those who wrote about them had a very different understanding of illness than we have today. In this class we will investigate one particular “mystery disease” using brief excerpts from fiction, medical books, and diaries written by the sufferers themselves. And the diagnosis of the disease is only the beginning of the mystery! Nan McMurry is the Director for Collection Development at the University of Georgia Libraries in Athens. She also teaches history of medicine classes for the UGA History Department. She has a PhD in history from Duke University with a specialty in the history of medicine, as well as master’s degrees in music and library science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Medicine: Crossing the Cultural Divide Alice Harris
Tuesday, March 4, 2014 12:00 - 1:45 PM Central Presbyterian Church 1 session 12.00
Practicing western medicine in the United States can provide many opportunities for cross-cultural patient encounters, whether the difference in culture involves language, religion, race, ethnicity or economic status. As a medical resident, Dr. Harris worked extensively with a large population of Hmong refugees from Laos. Her work with the Hmongs was extremely enlightening in terms of understanding cultural differences, but very frustrating at times, due to the deep distrust many of them had for western medicine. Dr. Harris will relate some of her most memorable encounters with the Hmong population and discuss why respect for differing cultures should be part of every health professional’s education. You must register for this luncheon program no later than Thursday, February 20.
Michelangelo: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly? Wednesday, January 22, 2014 1:00 - 3:45 PM River’s Crossing 1 session 8.00 plus parking
Until Caravaggio overtook him in the last decade, Michelangelo was the most famous Italian artist in the world. We all know his iconic works, the Roman Pietà, the David and the Sistine Ceiling. This class seeks first to consider these works in the wider context within which they were produced. The second session will focus on some of his less famous works—the Risen Christ, the Last Judgment, the Medici and Pauline Chapel as well as the Florentine Pietà—in order to address aspects of his career that appeal less to modern sensibilities, but that had more impact on his contemporaries. A handout with the key works and some readings will be provided before the class, but no preparation is required. Shelley Zuraw completed her dissertation for the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, on the Florentine fifteenth-century sculptor Mino da Fiesole. Since 1992 she has been at the University of Georgia where she teaches art and architecture from 1260 until 1680 in Europe. Since 2007 she has taken a group of science majors to Italy every Maymester. Her particular area of research focus remains sculpture in Italy ca. 1400-1550.
Mother’s Role in Muslim Families in Dakar, Senegal Emily Goodhue
Tuesday, March 25, 2014 10:30-11:45 AM River’s Crossing 1 session 8.00 plus parking
This course will present findings from 30 sociological interviews that Emily conducted in the capital of Senegal over the past year. Discussion will include the dynamic between husbands and wives, how decisions for the family are made, how members of the family have reacted to women entering the workforce, and what effects this knowledge has on our perceptions of Muslim women around the world. The class will also explore stereotypes about Muslim women and comparisons between roles of women in the US and in Senegal. Emily is a senior at St. Olaf College in Minnesota. She studied in Senegal during Fall 2012, fell in love with her host family and friends there, and then returned this past summer to do research. Her research proved to be productive and worthwhile, and now she is seeking ways to share what she learned. After graduation, Emily plans to work in social services in Minneapolis and then hopefully return to Senegal.

Mondays and Thursdays, April 21, 24, 28, May 1, 2014 1:00 - 3:00 PM River’s Crossing 4 sessions 20.00 plus parking
Poetry’s many voices are a chief source of its many pleasures.

Renaissance Portraiture Wednesday, February 26, 2014 Shelley Zuraw
Using a handful of examples, we will trace the formal, social, and conceptual ideas that led to the reinvention of the portrait in Renaissance Italy. At least at the beginning portraiture was not restricted to painted likenesses; we will, therefore, consider medals, marble busts, and tombs among our examples of the Renaissance search for authentic representations of the individual. Often forgotten is the fact that a surprising number of women also had their portraits made. Sometimes the commission came from their father or husband, but on rare occasions women, too, commissioned portraits. In general, Renaissance portraits were made of the political, economic, or religious elite. In fact, the first series of portraits made of people outside these ranks are of artists—both literary and visual. Shelley Zuraw completed her dissertation for the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, on the Florentine fifteenth-century sculptor Mino da Fiesole. Since 1992 she has been at the University of Georgia where she teaches art and architecture from 1260 until 1680 in Europe. Since 2007 she has taken a group of science majors to Italy every Maymester. Her particular area of research focus remains sculpture in Italy ca. 1400-1550.
Liszt
Tuesday, March 11, 2014 Richard Zimdars
An overview of the career of Franz Liszt (1811-1886) will be presented. Aspects of his work as a pianist, composer, teacher, and supporter of his fellow
composers will be considered. Musical examples will be played. Dr. Richard Zimdars, Despy Karlas Professor of Piano at the University of Georgia, combines the roles of teacher, scholar, and performer. Dr. Zimdars has performed and lectured in England, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Brazil, Canada, and the United States. He can be heard on seven commercially released CDs. He has given master classes at London's Royal Academy of Music, Dublin's Royal Irish Academy of Music, the Stuttgart and Detmold Musikhochschulen, and Oberlin and San Francisco Conservatories.
The Great Gatsby Tuesday, April 16, 2014 Alexis Winger
The fourth film version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is set for release in May 2013. The first was a silent film released in 1926, a year after the novel was published, and it was followed by movie releases in 1949 and 1974. What accounts for the continuing interest in this story? Is it, as has been suggested, the great American novel? Let’s get ready for the movie by talking about this enduring classic, even if you choose not to go to the theater. Please have the first five chapters read for the first class and the rest for the second. Alexis Winger attended Idaho State University, BYU, and Tennessee Tech University. She taught composition and grammar in UGA’s Division of Academic Enhancement for 29 years and most recently served as coordinator of the Writing Component of the Division’s Learning Center. She has given numerous presentations on teaching composition and grammar.

Sandy Jordan, sandyjordan@charter.net, 706-546-8537
The quilting group meets on the first and third Tuesdays of the month from 1-3 PM all year. We meet at members’ homes and just do hand quilting. We have room for interested persons wanting to learn or those who already do hand quilting.
This informal Bonsai Group meets on the 4th Thursday of each month, from 2:30 to 4:30 PM. Field trips are made to a variety of places of interest to the group, and within driving distance, to view collections, and have the opportunity to purchase plants, materials and tools.
HAPPY HIKERS
Iris Miracle, happyhikers@yahoo.com, 706-353-6711
BOOK DISCUSSION
Diana Cerwonka, drcerwonka@bellsouth.net, 706-543-7780
If 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 fitness, fun and enjoyment of the marvels of nature. Each quarter, members receive a three-month calendar of one hike a month planned for trails in and around Athens and North Georgia.
The Book Discussion Group meets on the second Thursday of the month from 3:00-4:00 p.m in the fourth floor multipurpose room at Talmage Terrace.. Books are selected by group vote. Selections include fiction and nonfiction, contemporary and classic. Discussion is informal and participation is encouraged. Please feel welcome to join us at any meeting or call for more information.
INTERMEDIATE BRIDGE
Mary Brockway, marybrockway@att.net, 706-549-3160
CHESS Bill Loughner, bill@loughner.com
Let's get together and play a game or two! Players of approximately equal skill will be paired up to enjoy the game of chess. We meet every two weeks in the afternoon at a local restaurant where food and drink is available. Jim Kundell, jekundell@bellsouth.net
OLLI’s cribbage special interest group is up and running. We meet every other Wednesday at 2:00 pm at the Kumquat Mae restaurant in Watkinsville. If any OLLI members are interested in this fun and challenging card game, please come and join us.
DAWG.BYTES
Les Shindelman, lshindel2@gmail.com, 706-705-2466
The group meets monthly to share knowledge about using information technology in our daily lives. We discuss topics such as social media, online banking, travel tools, and more. The group is also a "support" network to assist members with technology problems and questions. No special expertise is required - only the ability to use a web browser and /or a smartphone/tablet. Next meeting will be at the ACC Library.
ENJOY OPERA IN ATHENS
Nancy Songster, njsongster@charter.net, 706-548-8181
Our purpose is to learn more about opera, attend the OLLI@UGA classes on Opera, support the UGA Opera department productions, recitals, and scholarships. We also enjoy all opera performances in the Athens area and attend the MetOpera Live in HD broadcast at local cinemas. UGA graduate students present information on each MetOpera broadcast at a luncheon prior to the Saturday afternoon broadcasts.
This group meets on the first 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 afternoon of cards without the fuss of setting up tables, making snacks and drinks (coffee is available), we invite you to try our group.
INVESTING
CRIBBAGE
The Investment Group meets once a month to exchange information about investing and investments. The group’s common denominator is a strong interest in exchanging information about the world of investments; economics and financial security. We have guest speakers from various professions including accounting, financials, government and law.
LADY DOGS BASKETBALL
Randall Abney, rabney@me.com, 706-850-6148
The Lady Dogs are always in the top 20 teams in the nation and play fantastic basketball. Join 80+ other OLLI@UGA members who buy season tickets and sit together, cheering on the Lady Dogs. A season ticket for all home games is only $40, less than $5 per game. What a bargain! Don't miss out on the fun and fellowship with other OLLI@UGA members at the Lady Dogs games. GO DAWGS!!!!
LUNCH BUNCH
Mercedes Rivera, 43rivers@gmail.com

MAHJONGG
STITCH & CHAT
Do you already know how to play Mahjongg, or have you wanted to learn? I love to play and would love to find fellow fanatics – or future ones. Let’s get together! Join us any Tuesday at 1PM. During the Summer, contact Renee Feldman, rff1942@gmail.com for meeting place and time.
The Stitch and Chat Group meets on the first Thursday of each month throughout the year at 10 AM. We meet in homes, or other locations, such as Main Street Yarns in Watkinsville and Em’s Kitchen on Hawthorne. Most of our members are knitting, but bring any type of handwork and join us.
NOVICE BRIDGE
SOLO SENIORS
This group is for people who already know the basics of playing bridge, but have not played in a long time or have not played a lotThis 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.
This special interest group fosters interaction and networking among unmarried members of OLLI@UGA. The group meets for dinner at area restaurants on the first Thursday of each month to welcome new members, to build and strengthen acquaintances, and explore mutual interests and opportunities.

(Walks are cancelled in event of inclement weather.) Contact Jill Read for a monthly schedule.
PICKLEBALL
Ken Calkin, kcalkin1@gmail.com, 706-546-8037
Pickleball is a fun game, similar to tennis or ping-pong, but different and easy to learn and fun to play. We play on 3 indoor courts at Lay Park gym on Hoyt street every Monday from 12:00 noon until 2:00 and Wednesday from 10:00 am -12:00 noon. Athens Clarke Co. Leisure Services provides all the equipment, and no prior experience is necessary. Come out and give it a try. It's fun!

We meet one evening per month at River’s Crossing, with date, time and agenda announced by email. Our meetings include a presentation on a photographic topic and a Member’s Showcase session for members to show off their work. To join the mailing list, contact Chuck.
PINOCHLE POSSE
Tom Kenyon, tkenygroup@gmail.com
The Pinochle Posse is for those who already play Pinochle, those who have not played for some time & those who never played but wish to learn! We meet the first Thursday of the month at 6pm and the third Monday of the month at 1pm at a place to be determined.
We love sharing good food and conversation, cooking, and having fun. Each member takes a turn in hosting and everyone brings a dish to share. Email us now to join! Art Crawley, 706- 353-3012 Carolyn Abney, Carolyn.in.Athens@gmail.com
Members of our group include newcomers to Athens trying to adapt techniques they brought with them; folks who are new to gardening, whether in Georgia clay or elsewhere; and experienced gardeners. We help each other with planning or planting a vegetable garden (whatever its size), swapping seeds and cuttings, sharing local knowledge, and touring commercial nurseries, organic farms, botanical gardens and our own gardens.
WRITING MEMOIR Roger Bailey, Roger1731@charter.net, 706-540-1068
Writing about our lives, we share our prose and poetry to learn more about ourselves and each other as we hope to write memoir more effectively in regard to both form and content. We meet from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon on the third Thursday each month. Contact Roger for location information.
