This group meets at 2:00 on the second Tuesday of every month. They have closed their membership, but they are taking names of book lovers so that a second group can be started. The books are generally fiction and are available in paperback for around $15. Members of the group are expected to read the book and take part in the discussion. The book titles are chosen by group consensus and the members take turns hosting the event.
If you are interested in this group, send a message to coordinator Carolyn Smith, stacaro@aol.com.

GREAT DECISIONS |
Our Great Decisions group has completed our course for this year, leaving many of us anxious to keep up with World Affairs — and missing our Thursday discussions! As stated by the Foreign Policy Association "For over 50 years, Great Decisions has given an inspiring example of the role citizens can play in discovering, discussing and deciding how some of the world's greatest challenges can be met." We, in our AAUW group have had 8 stimulating Thursday afternoons. Past topics included: Iraq; the EU; Engaging the Enemy; Russia; Defense and Security; Latin America; China; and Philanthropy. We now look forward to the 2011 Great Decisions group, with new topics to help AAUW members understand some of the challenges affecting our lives. We will be setting up our 2011 group in November. Participation numbers will be limited - due to space. We had a waiting list this year. For more information contact coordinators Kathleen Stacey, yecats123@comcast.net, or Kay Morris, kaygmorris@gmail.com.
Members meet five times a year. A planning meeting is held
in June to decide themes of dinners for the following year. Four dinners
are planned. All members are invited to the planning meeting and can sign
up for the coming year. Those joining later can sign up for the substitute
list. For information, contact coordinator Sharyn Siebert, sharynsiebert@comcast.net.
ROMANCING THE COAST
Group meets to explore "The Heart of California". Exploration is usually followed by lunch at nearby restaurants. For more information janzeek@hotmail.com
