Hi
Folks,
I
found out about this group (SIG = Special Interest Groups) from a friend-- who I
met in another group that I've mentioned to the female INW, the W5.
Some of the activities are really interesting, and range of interests is pretty
broad. If you send an email to Amy, she'll add you to
distribution.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning
for D.C. -- had to send this out early.

ONGOING:
RELATIONSHIPS & GENDER DIFFERENCES (Wednesdays at 7:30)
What do women want?
And what do men want? Relationship issues and gender differences
make for a spirited and fun discussion at this weekly book club. If trying to
understand the opposite sex is driving you bananas, come join in our
discussion. We meet in the JANE BELL ROOM at the White
Memorial Presbyterian Church, located at 1704 Oberlin Road in Raleigh.
Current read: Single Men Are Like Waffles/Single Women Are Like
Spaghetti by Bill and Pam Farrel.

AVIATION MEETUP GROUP (4th
Thu) (8pm)
Are you a pilot? Did you just start taking flight lessons?
Have you ever dreamed about flying? Or are you simply interested
in or curious about aviation? If so, please join the Raleigh Durham
Aviation Meetup Group <http://aviation.meetup.com/13/>. It is a place
where aviation enthusiasts can share their stories, experiences, laughter and
make new friends. For students or new pilots, it is a place where you can
learn from others and get encouragement. For more experienced pilots, you
might find someone to share the cost of renting the plane and enjoy the
company of another pilot.

PADDLE TENNIS (Every Sat)
(9:30am, Noon in
winter)
Paddle tennis is easier and more fun
than tennis. It only takes 5 minutes to learn and ANYONE can play. We play
every Saturday at the Morrisville Community Center. New players are welcome
and get free lessons. We play every Saturday, some Sundays, soon on Tuesdays
-- year round unless it rains. Paddles are provided. Check out our web site at
http://ncpaddletennis.netfirms.com.
~Joel Pearl
(362-8855), <jjjjpppp AT aol.com>
EUCHRE GROUP (Last Sat) (7pm)
Calling all Euchre players! We
are forming a Euchre group to meet for snacks and chat and then "serious
cards" the last Saturday of each month. First meet will be at my
house 7pm Saturday January 30th. Each round you will get a new partner so
singles or couples works out just fine. This is a fairly simple card game and
you can call me to learn before you come. This group will be open to the first
20 or so people who sign up and we will be moving around to various homes in
Cary/Apex (but is open to all). If there is interest in other
parts of town, we can start more than one group.

BOOK CLUB
(1st Sun) (12:30 - 1:30)
Our Sunday Brunch
Book Bunch (LOVE the name!) meets the first Sunday of each month
(some exceptions) for open discussions on books we've read and other topics
(moral and cultural implications, society issues, and life in general). We
seek thought-provoking books. Check this website <http://www.redsunacademy.com/SIG/SIG%20Pages/bookclub.htm> to learn more about our Book Club and to see what novels we've
read and will read. We're always open to new folks. We read one book a month
(book to be decided on by all). We meet upstairs in BARNES AND NOBLE, a
really cool two-story book store at Triangle Town Center (540 & Capital
Blvd. in north Raleigh). We have new folks strolling in all the time --
come! Lunch after.

WRITER'S CLUB (3rd Sun)
(1pm)
A
Writer's Club was formed in August, 2004 for people interested in writing
fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. Our meetings are the third Sunday of
every month at 1pm. We meet at a member's home - please call or email for
directions. The group's mission is to help each other improve our
writing and offer support for those who want to publish their works. If anyone
wants to read a short work of theirs at the meeting then let us know, so we
can allot enough time. If you have something longer that you would like the
group to critique then email it to us. Of course, we will be going to
brunch afterwards at a restaurant near by. Contact Bill, Debe, or Linda
if you're interested in joining us.

SOFTBALL ON SUNDAYS (4pm) (Apr3 -
Jun5)
Sunday winter softball is no more as we
stumble into the spring. We now switch to Spring Softball. RSOC rents two
fields for ten weeks. Warm-ups are from 4:00-4:30pm; and then get our
teams for the day and play at 4:30 (game time from 4:30 to 6pm).
We begin playing on Sunday, April 3 at Jaycee Park (2405 Wade Avenue,
Raleigh, 27607). We¹ll meet at the upper field by the volleyball courts.
Teams are randomly chosen each week, and players of any ability are welcome.
Our games are just for fun; come when you can (there is no obligation to play
every week). This is a great event to get to know and meet people, both at the
games and at post-game dinners at a local bar/restaurant (dinner not included
in fee). Softball equipment is provided (but, please bring your own glove).
Fee also includes end-of-season picnic. As we have to rent the
fields, the cost is $12 for RSOC members; $17 non-members. We¹ll be
signing up folks through the first two Sundays.
