SUNDAY PROGRAMS
January 23 - BREEDING, FEEDING, AND THE EFFECTS OF POLLUTION Justin Bell has an exciting multimedia program on oceanography to share with us. He has been studying whales, sharks, their reproduction, the food chain pyramid, and the pollution connection. Moderator: Penny Hendricks
January 30 - NO SUNDAY MEETING (Please come to the auction on Saturday, January 29.)
February 6 - SEEDS OF SIMPLICITY (SOS) Explore the concept of voluntary simplicity and the freedom of having less with Sarah Jacobson. SOS is a Los Angeles-based, secular program of the Center for Religion, Ethics, and Social Policy at Cornell University. Moderator: Les Berg
February 13 - REASON FOR HOPE This will be a video presentation of Jane Goodall, an open minded, fearless and determined activist. Leaving her 40 years of outstanding work in Tanzania, she now travels constantly to alert people to live in harmony with the natural world, and to show that we all can make a difference for a better world. Moderator: Jackie Berg
February 20 - ALEUT EVACUATION Told from the perspective of internment survivors, this unique video recalls the 3 years of isolation imposed upon almost 900 Aleut people during World War II. Their story is a reminder that civil liberties can be snatched away and that we need to be alert for the sake of everyone’s rights. Moderator: Lorna McClellan
February 27 - HAYDN: THE INVENTOR OF THE STRING QUARTET Come and hear what Haydn did with his new invention. Moderator: Rich Johnson

ABOUT PROGRAMS: Is there a topic that you would like to see offered for discussion? Is there a speaker that you would like to see invited back? Do you have a special interest that you would like to share? Lorna McClellan has been doing a really great job coming up with the variety of programs that we have enjoyed in the last two years, but we all could help her by giving her our ideas and feedback. (Perhaps we could also let her know her effort is very much appreciated.) Thank you, Lorna, from the newsletter editor who depends on you 95%. If you have an idea, call Lorna.
