GONE FISHIN' -- This group closed in 2009 due to waning interest by the members. No new events will be scheduled. No new members will be accepted. After the final installment "HP and the Deathly Hallows" was published, most people simply lost their enthusiasm for the Potterverse. Someone else started another HP group in Winston-Salem in 2010, but it only had a few events. I have purged this group's membership list and have kept this site only for archive purposes. We had a GREAT time for 2 years …
Meet kindred classic literature aficionados in a local Book Club! Our focus will be classic British literature, primarily 19th century.

Henry James, William Thackeray, the Brontës, Thomas Hardy, Lewis Carroll, G. Bernard Shaw, and Oscar Wilde are just some of the many other authors from whom we have to choose. For comparison, we also may read …

I’m starting this group because (1) I enjoy reading military history and (2) I enjoy discussing books with smart people. I’d like to meet people with broad interests in military history who are willing to read and discuss books spanning all of human history, rather than a narrow focus on one conflict or era: there is something to be learned from any war, I think. We will meet once a month, to discuss the book we'd voted on. Ideally, one or two persons will serve as primary discussion leaders: p …

A book club for progressive, liberal women of the New River Valley. We offer a monthly book club meeting (the 3rd Thursday) for women to kick back enjoy some good conversations and a big glass of wine.

This group started out as a traditional book club but I discovered quickly that fun people don't particularly like homework to do before being social. So I developed a book club for people who don't have time to read the book but like to get together with friends and talk about...well...books. So now you have the option of reading the book ahead of time and then seeing the movie with friends or simply seeing the movie with friends. Either way after the movie we go to dinner and discuss. If you'v …

I have been a solitary practitioner for the last 11 years and I have been happy with doing so until recently.It has come to my attention that there are other like-minded people that have meeting places in the Triad ( Greensboro,Winston-Salem and many others) but none in Kernersville. Do we not have Pagans in Kernersville,LOL? I would like to put the "feelers" to any of you Pagans,white craft,Wiccans and all other earth-based religions to contact me in order to start a group of our own. Unfortuna …
In our rapidly changing world, many would agree that mathematics needs to make an 180-degree turn from its current state of disconnected, formal deduction and rote memorization of problem-solving procedures. But what would a visually-engaging, technologically-savvy math class look like? One proposed solution is the Common Core, an effort currently being adopted by many states that focuses on persistence in problem-solving (which is great), mathematical precision, and logical reasoning (which ar …

This club is designed to be a bit different from the usual book club. Rather than assigning a single book for each meeting, I'll assign a theme or topic or genre or author and let each member choose a relevant book for herself. It may be a book you know and love or something new to you. The advantage is that no one ever has to read a book she doesn't like, yet everyone will arrive at the meeting ready to say a few words about her book and to join the general discussion. And everyone will hear ab …
This is a group for those interested in the writings of both ancient and contemporary Buddhist and Taoist poetry and stories. Reflecting on the minimalism, yet elegance of the poetic styles of such greats as Issa, Roykan, Basho, Saigyo, Li Po, Tu Fu, among others, we will plan to meet, sip tea and recite as well as discuss our favorite poetry of the great Buddhist and Taoist sages from the past and today. Central meetings may be planned at my Urban Hut, but we can plan for others to be located i …

VAMPIRES: Immortal, alluring, and highly dangerous -- what's not to love? Just about everyone enjoys a good vampire story, as evidenced by our lasting fascination with the undead.
