0 Comments

 
~Binkley Baptist Blood Drive in the Fellowship Hall ~
~        Thursday March 5th        2:00 - 6:30 PM       ~
A quick reminder of this Thursday's class schedule, per our published schedule and how this affects Peer Learning classes:

The blood drive preempts only the Thursday afternoon class slot.
Since one Volcanoes (Vo) slot was lost due to weather,  I have moved the Volcanoes & Shakespeare classes one week later (skipping break week) which leaves no slot at the end of term for makeup in the Thursday PM timeslot.  

This means   NO Volcanoes Class this week  
There will still be 6 Volcanoes and 4 Shakespeare classes.

 Volcanoes  Feb 20 lost to weather
Instructor: Beth Timson . 
Thursday PM 1:30-3:00 Pocket Room 6 weeks: Feb 20-27 , Mar10-Apr 2, April 16
Volcanoes are amazing in and of themselves, but some major eruptions have played an outsize role in human history around the world. We will look briefly at the how, where, and why of volcanic activity, then spend some time with famous volcanoes discussing how they changed the course of human events...and could do so again in the future. 

Skips Mar 5 (blood drive)

Reading Shakespeare  moved to April 23 - May 14 
Leader: Barb Tepperman  
Will follow Volcanoes classes in same time,day of week and place.  

Ancient Humans  Feb 20 lost to weather 
Instructor: Gary West
One time slot lost to weather.  All available slots Mon to Thursday are committed.
Non conflict slots available Fridays not allotted to speakers or luncheons.

It is with sorrow that we announce to you that Don Forman, long time member, past president and contributor to Peer Learning, has passed.

George Baroff wishes to add: 

"Peer Learning was important to Don and to Florence and it was Don who introduced me (George) to PL and encouraged me (George)  to become president.  
He had a heart problem and surgery but seemed to be doing well.  He was a strong presence and will be missed.  Florence had long taught Short Stories at Peer Learning".  


Flo Forman wishes us to know that services will be held as follows: 

Sunday March 1 at 1:30 PM 
Judea Reform Temple 
1933 West Cornwallis Rd.
Durham NC 27705

Located 0.2 miles east of 15-501 X106 Cornwallis Rd. 2nd right turn.

​Please pass on to other long time peers as you think knew him well.

Change in February 2020 Stepping Out Lunch

2/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Hi Peer Learners,

Due to Peer Learning's bad weather policy, our tradition of "lunching out" for the month of  February 2020, shall now be on Friday, February 28th, at 11:30am  at:
First Watch
1101 Environ Way
Chapel Hill, NC 27517    

Located on NC 54 near Glenn Lenox  toward I-40 and Durham.  Parking between the buildings east of NC-54.

Formerly "The Egg & I", it is a breakfast chain with a new name &  menu. 
 
NOTE: From the corporate web site: 
The restaurant still serves eggs — they’re advertised as cage-free — although some omelets are made with just the whites.  You still can get biscuits and gravy, but the sausage comes from a turkey, not a pig.

First Watch has shifted the restaurant’s hours a half hour later. It’s now open from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. seven days a week and has beefed up its lunch menu with more salads, soups and sandwiches.
