Our Discussion Group thrives on active participation, with members taking turns to lead engaging conversations. Each session typically begins with a brief introduction by the Chair, followed by a lively discussion. The aim is to share our personal interests, explore diverse perspectives, and delve into current affairs. 

We seek to select discussion topics closer to each meeting date, keeping our schedule flexible to address current and relevant issues. While geopolitical subjects often spark great interest, we make it a priority to maintain a diverse and well-rounded selection of topics.

We very much welcome ideas for future discussions and, particularly, volunteers to lead discussions.

Please view the monthly calendar from the homepage to confirm meeting dates, times and rooms for upcoming meetings. Look for the Monthly Calendar button on the left navigation panel. 
Zoom is available for this meeting.

The Chair, 
Richard Koppel, may be contacted at rlkoppel@gmail.com or 248-210-9326.
