This is a discussion group held on the first and third Fridays of each month covering local, national, and world news. The discussion provides an opportunity to share your observations and opinions on the news and to learn from other participants. Articles of interest are distributed among the group by email in the week before each meeting, and topics to discuss are selected by the group at the beginning of each meeting.

Starts at 10 am.

Please join us for a monthly Zoom get-together for coffee, conversation, and crafts.  Settle in with your favorite craft, bring your coffee, tea, or beverage, and visit with Gold LEAF friends.  Crafts are not essential, and guys are welcome! The goal is to get together and spend an hour or more talking with friends.

NOTE:  The fall/winter term begins November 11, 2024.  Please register if you wish to continue or are new to the class.

The Book Discussion Group continues a long Gold LEAF tradition and will meet three times during the Fall/Winter Term to discuss works of fiction and non-fiction. Our sessions are open and casual, but also stimulating and informative - we learn from each other. This term, each book has been chosen and will be facilitated by a member of the group.

The group meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month except December.

November 12: Take What You Can Carry by Gian Sardar

January 14: The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon

February 11: West with Giraffes: A Novel by Lynda Rutledge

Each of the facilitators has participated in this book group previously. Both newcomers and past participants are encouraged to join us for this Fall/Winter Term.

Our list of unrecognized (or at least unrewarded) women in Science and Discovery is getting longer instead of shorter.  Many of you have sent more names, so it is time to set up another go-round, once again in study group format.  We will do this on Zoom to avoid winter roads to stay safe and cozy in our homes.

Eileen, the holder of the “List of Women Scientists”, has coordinated this study group for GLI several times, but we are far from done.  As in the past (with the assistance of other outstanding GLI members), we have divided up assignments and brought unique contributions as we shared what we found about our chosen scientist.
