Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) has a new program option known as a Shared Interest Group (SIG). A SIG brings people together who have a common interest that they wish to pursue indefinitely within a structure of meetings and activities designed primarily by the members of the group.

A SIG does not have a formal class syllabus. Members of a SIG determine the content and discussion of a SIG. A designated facilitator arranges meetings, takes attendance, and initiates the discussion among the SIG members on how the group will operate.

This group will meet to share time together working on their individual projects, be they knitting, embroidery, lace-making, crochet, needlepoint, or others. Encouraging interest in learning new skills, completing projects already underway, while enjoying each other’s company shall be chief goals of this Interest Group.

This Shared Interest Group will meet on the first Thursday of every month and be facilitated by Marcia Hallstrom & Marge Higley.
