This post is really for people in the Capital District. We started a Retirement Roundtable group that meets on first Wednesdays at 7:30 in the morning. We got a great turn out of 22 people, many of whom were not a part of the church. I also had a gaggle of moaners who do not get out of bed before noon for whom the idea of a 7:30am meeting was simply inconceivable. This, combined with the fact that 22 people is just a bit over the amount that can do a group thing like this well, has caused me to offer another roundtable time. I'm going to try an additional class on first Wednesdays at 1pm. This will in no way be connected to the lunch that is served every Wednesday from 11:30 to 12:30. You may note that it is on the same day as the first group. This way I will only need to prepare a little lesson once since I would forget it if only a day or two intervened.
The first group was full of diverse, interesting people and I am hoping for the same in the second one. People in all stages of retirement including not even close are invited. If you are a peculiar person, you are especially invited. Please identify yourself as such when you arrive. We will talk about the issues and feelings of retirement and share our knowledge. What we can remember of it.
We may even have a third one of these in the evening. Probably first Wednesdays. :)
Let me know about the 1pm thing if you are coming to it or shifting from the other. Thanks.
