The OLLI Special Interest Group (SIG) for International Dinners meets monthly in members’ homes on a rotating basis with 6-8 people per home. Recipes for international cuisine are easy to find on the Internet or at the library and fun to try. Contact Sharon Walsh at sharonaz@cableone.net or 237-9354 for more information.
If you have an avid interest in China, we will be forming a discussion group called the “Jyauze Club” (Dumpling Club.) We will meet once per month at a local restaurant where we will have a 30 minute presentation followed by a discussion period on a Chinese topic. Dinner will follow. The presentations will be made by members of the “Jyauze Club.” Members must commit to at least one presentation. Membership in this SIG is limited to 35. We meet the second Tuesday of the month (time and location TBD). Contact Ed Gaucher at edgaucher@cableone.net or 777-8701 for more information.

We are conducting preliminary planning for a Special Interest Group on Wine. In our planning it became apparent that this means different things to different people. Some people want an educational experience where they can learn how to evaluate wines. Others are interested in a more informal social tasting of wines. Still others are interested in visiting local vineyards.
If you are interested in a wine SIG please email Hal Freedman at haltf@cableone.net or call (928) 445-5643. Please indicate which of the above ideas (more than one is okay) best describes your interest, or any other ideas or thoughts you may have.
All OLLI Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are open and free to all OLLI members.
For more information about creating a SIG for your particular interest, contact Matt Lukaszewski (SIG Committee Chair) at 717-0801.
