An instructor provides a stimulating non-threatening atmosphere. This small group provides opportunity for all members to participate in lively conversation. Magazine articles form the basis for increasing reading skills and vocabulary under the guidance of a teacher. Fees depend on the number of members. Small friendly groups meet monthly to discuss a book.
Members take turns reviewing books and providing refreshments.
The books vary widely and must be available from public libraries. There are guided tours of the Gallery's permanent collection and some special exhibits. These members like to sing. Every Wednesday morning they rehearse a wide repertoire of folk songs, Broadway hits, hymns and madrigals. Several times a year they share their music entertaining senior citizen groups and residents of retirement homes.
