For those who enjoy reading and discussing in-depth articles on current, significant US and international issues, the creative arts, personalities and more, the New Yorker Discussion Group offers the opportunity to stimulate the mind, hear multiple points of view, learn, socialize, and laugh a lot. The group meets weekly on Wednesdays at 11:00 a.m. for about 1.5 hours in the U.U.E.A. gathering room. There are no “required readings.” Each member reads any articles, stories, or poems that are of interest and at meetings, share their thoughts, opinions, and experiences (frequently relevant, occasionally irrelevant, and often irreverent). Sometimes one or more members has expertise on a topic, and sometimes the articles have information that is totally new to everyone.

All are welcome, but weekly attendance is not required. It’s good for the mind and a lot of fun.
