“After Dinner Conversation” is a monthly eMagazine that publishes compelling “what if” scenarios of original philosophy and ethics short stories across genres. Accompanying discussion questions are provided to encourage intentional reflection and respectful debate. Copies of each week’s short stories will be sent to participants via e-mail. NOTE: eCopies may be available from your local library. For more information about this eMagazine see https://www.afterdinnerconversation.com/magazine

This workshop offers an opportunity to explore different techniques and forms of art, such as brush painting, pen and ink, watercolor and drawing. All levels of experience and expertise are welcome. Participants will bring their own supplies and materials and will work independently. While class facilitators and participants can offer encouragement, ideas and suggestions to each other, this will NOT be an instructional class.

Coordinators:  Basilio King, Christopher Melby and Alfredo Rodriguez

Join us as we learn about some major disasters, and unfortunately there seems to be an endless number of them. There are many occurrences around the world as well as here in the United States. Are we studying the causes of these so we can get in front of these situations and practice avoidance? Some are man made and others are an accident of nature. Does the source make any difference in the severity or outcome?

Description:  This eight-week study group, presented on Zoom Tuesday and in the classroom Thursday, begins Tuesday, Sept. 17 and ends Thursday, Nov. 7. We will cover our usual wide range of subjects, ranging from documentaries to topical current events. You may also expect some screen time addressing the pithy subject of democracy and its alternatives, as we conclude our fall session the week of the general election. But we promise to avoid fake news.

Coordinators:  Mike and Marilyn Glass
