This will be a discussion group led by Jean Greenlaw. The topic for each meeting will be the theme of Dr. Greenlaw’s “Book Talk” column that appears in the Denton Record-Chronicle on the first weekend of each month. It is not necessary to read the books mentioned in the column, but it will make your participation more meaningful for you if you do read a book that fits the theme. It can range from a picture book for children to the most complex book you find on the topic. Dr. Greenlaw will begin each session by discussing the topic and a few books from her column. A link to the column will be sent to the SIG roster before the meeting. Then members will participate by discussing the book they read.
There are three points Dr. Greenlaw would like participants to be ready to discuss with the group:
1. How does the book you read fit the theme?
2. What was your most important takeaway from the book?
3. Why would others be interested in reading the book?
If you wish to be a member of the SIG and not participate in the discussion, you are welcome. It just is more fun for you if you put your 2 cents worth in the discussion!

This SIG is for those readers who love getting lost in libraries and bookstores, only to realize months later that the "bestseller," must-read book on their shelf has been sitting there unread way too long. SIG members will suggest possible books to discuss one semester in advance. The group will choose one title to be read by everyone and that book's advocate will coordinate the book discussion. Participants will want to share with the group their personal response to the book.

A lover of all sorts of music written for the classically trained human voice, Steve Dubrow has attended dozens of the classical vocal recitals that the UNT College of Music presents annually to the public without charge. These recitals demand the same level of technique and artistry as an opera performance, but the recital format and location make possible a special intimacy and directness of contact between singer and audience. There are neither sets nor costumes. The one featured singer simply stands and delivers an approximately 90-minute program of gorgeous music, accompanied in most instances by a trained concert pianist.
This group will attend a selection of recitals each semester. The group will meet at the recital venue 30 minutes before the performance, at which time Steve will provide context for the music about to be performed; there will be further discussion during the intermission and after the performance. College of Music faculty and students will be invited to share their unique perspectives with the group as well.

This SIG is led by OLLI member John Penaska, a former IT professional who loves to write for fun. The group is open to any member who wants to explore examples of fun writing and practice writing with others. All experience levels and writing styles are welcome.
The group will use these meetings to discuss and define what is fun about writing, review some examples of fun writing, and decide together what direction the group will take. Members are encouraged to bring samples of their own writing and take an active role in determining the agenda for future meetings.
