THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
Contact us if this or any other on the Study Group list interests you.
Also check out the web site on regular bases to see more of what is available.
and DO NOT FORGET to RSVP.
We also feel that there are a few groups that really need defining:
"On the Town" groups go someplace exciting and interesting every month.
That includes educational, recreational, dining, crafts, and charity excursions.
"Pot Pourri" groups are a combination of events. They include trips to places
you will enjoy and discussion and demonstrations of interest.
"Life and Times" groups" discuss first a "woman of history" and then a topic
of interest. These can range from what a first aid kit should include to an era in history.
"Lunch & Learn" group members enjoy a great lunch and a lecture from a person
of interest arranged by the group's members.
Remember, if you have a question about any Study Group, contact the appropriate V.P.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Brandeis University".
And, by the way, don't forget to renew your membership by either mailing in your check to National or online

LEGAL EYES STUDY GROUP
Legal Eyes is a new legal puzzler group.
We are eleven women who enjoy studying legal cases,
past and present. Our energetic discussions include debating about our judicial system, the
philosophy of the law, and the frustrations inherent in trying to separate legalities from "fairness/justice."
We are learning quite a bit about the law as well as what it takes to come to fair and just decisions.

LEGAL EAGLES STUDY GROUP
Are you Puzzled about what Legal Puzzlers Study Groups are all about?
Our group has been in existence for over ten years, meeting each month at a different member's home.
The hostess is responsible for providing the topic for discussion.
Our format is constantly changing with the times. We may debate legal issues regarding the
current government policies, discuss a supreme court case, watch a movie pertaining to a legal issue,
or have a guest speaker. We become the best of what a jury should be.

Brandeis Players in its seventh year is led by Sid Wilner, a professional actor.
Sid has been a member of SAG/AFTRA and AEA for 35 years. His very extensive resume includes roles in Movie,
TV and Theatre productions.
None of the members in the group are actors.
No critics, Do your best... Just have fun and enjoy!!
We meet every month on the 4th-Tuesday at 1:30 pm.
Scripts are then distributed for the following month.
The roles for the reading assigned one week prior to the meeting via e-mail.
For most scripts you will have multiple roles.
And this is important...No "Stars" Everyone will read about the same amount of lines.

Life and Times:
A Study Group to Pique Your Interest!
|
Life and Times
Life & Times is a great group of women who meet to discuss both notable women in history and topics of interest to all of us.
Each month the person who is hosting the meeting does a short bio on a woman she admires,
followed by a report on a topic of interest to her. Past topics have included women inventors,
art history, women poets, stroke awareness, recycling, heart health, and Jews in China.
Our presentations are followed by lively discussions. We avoid political and personal topics.
For more information please contact our leader,
Sharon Cohen,
