*Alive* Class
The first semester of the
Alive Series, now in its ninth
year has come to a rousing
conclusion. The session ended
with the awarding of Cer
tificates during our semester-
end luncheon and we look back
on our 8-week seminar with
great enthusiasm. Our course,
“Exploring Human Relation
ships Through Literature,” in
cluded reading of short stories
by various authors, from
James Joyce to Eudora Welty.
Led by Jim McGavran, Pro
fessor of English at UNCC,
discussions went from the
deeply philosophical to the
hilarious: death, friendship,
sex. We read about and dis
cussed it all.
We are looking forward to
starting a new session
sometime in January or
February, subject matter still
to be decided. We anticipate
that the next seminar will be
as stimulating as all our
previous ones have been.
Watch for news of the next
“Alive” offering.

Mini'Camp
Talk about fun! The JCC
Winter Mini-Campers had
wonderful fun! This is what
they did those three days in
December: ran obstacle
courses; finger painted; made
hand puppets; saw a story
about Chanukah on film; did
aerobics; watched Harlequin
Mime perform and learned
how to do some mime them
selves; built sculptures out of
clay and out of wood; ran relay
races; listened to stories; sang
songs. Altogether they had a
fun and educational ex
perience with their peers.
