Second Friday Flicks [2009-10]
Coordinator: Bob Grinnell
(315) 524-9026; begrin@gmail.com
2nd Fridays, October to December and February to April (6 total)
Films at 7pm (Munchies available from 6:45pm)
Films are selected and hosted by participants. The evening's volunteer host(s) provides the introduction and lead the discussion following the film. While the presentations are enjoyed in and for themselves, they are also catalysts, which spark wonderful discussions and sharing among those attending. There is often a camaraderie, which develops that greatly enhances the experience. It is a sharing of knowledge, thoughts and feelings, which are generated through our viewing of the films, our being together and our creating meaningful experiences.
