July 7 – WHAT ON EARTH IS THE ACA?    Have you been reading and hearing about the Affordable Care Act (ACA) recently?  At best the information presented in the media is confusing and conflicting.  It has been very politicized and is quite controversial.  So exactly what is it and how will it affect each of us?  Join Ronda Thomas, MA, Client Resource Specialist at Beach Cities Health District in a discussion about the legislation.  Learn how the State of California is implementing it, how it will impact medical care locally, and some of the other issues surrounding the ACA.  Carol Simpson will moderate. 

July 14 - "WHO ARE WE AND HOW DID WE GET THIS WAY"  Human beings are intrinsically imperfectible - and fortunately so.  In a constantly changing world we need the flexibility that only imperfection provides.  Our "salvation" is pitiless self-discovery.  One of our very favorite speakers, Reverend Emeritus Ernie Pipes will share his thoughts on the subject.  Bob Johnson will moderate. 

July 21 – BEAUTIFUL SOUTHWEST UTAH   by Peter Landecker and Lenore Snodey.  Gorgeous images of Bryce and Zion National Parks and nearby areas in Utah and southeast Nevada will be displayed.  The history, culture and wildlife of

     this area will also be discussed.  Penny Hendricks will be the moderator. 

 

July 28 – THE SUPREME COURT, EDWARD SNOWDEN, GEORGE ZIMMERMAN AND MORE     Come and express your concern, frustration, or satisfaction.  Share your thoughts.

As of today, July 2, Les Berg, one of our long-time members, is in intensive care at Torrance Hospital.  Les has double pneumonia.  If you want to send some loving thoughts and healing energy to him at this time, he could use whatever he can get from us.  

You can send him an email from the hospital website http://www.torrancememorial.org/Patients_Visitors/E_mail_a_Patient.aspx. If you have any questions, call Penny.

 

Many thanks to Bob and Linda for hosting the potluck on June 30.  The hamburgers were great, and we ate wonderful salads and deserts.  I (for one) appreciated the chance to be together at this time.
