Membership runs from 7/1/2022 through 6/30/2023 and must be current in order to register for a class.

Arlene Jackson and Jane Carlson are co-instructors.  The class will be a book discussion group meeting once a month on the second Wednesday from September to June.  Prior to the meeting date, Arlene Jackson will send the members a list of questions to be discussed.  A participant will be chosen monthly to give a short bio of the author of the following month's selection.

How do you define death? What’s a good death? A bad one? What are our attitudes toward death? How do you weigh quantity of life and quality of life? What should be the doctor’s role? Should end-of-life care costs be considered? Have you made your wishes known? Who should decide? Brief slide shows and movie clips will help us discuss what a good death is.
