Last Thursday Meeting: July 9, 2020

About 25 people joined for this meeting. Since last week when the links for both the Thursday and Friday meetings were circulated to all ICCC seniors, we welcomed some new faces. At this meeting, in addition to the songs and poetry, the discussion revolved around usefulness of masks, in particular in the indoor settings, where the air circulation system may contribute to the spreading of the virus in the form of aerosols.

An audio-segment from CBC podcast 'Out in the Open' (in the link below, starting at 37 minute mark) was played, highlighting how easily we can be blind to our own prejudices, till another person points them out.


A video (see attachment below) showing how sometimes religion can constrain our thinking was also played.

A good discussion followed these items.


This Thursday Meeting: July 16, 2020

We will have our usual songs and poetry recital. Invariably, there will be some questions and discussion about how coronavirus could affect our lives in the months, and perhaps years, to come.

Please let me know well in advance, if you would like to make a presentation on some topic of common interest.
