Upcoming Events - Greenwood Men's Group

December 22: "Family Feud" Meeting, 2pm, GSC

You absolutely must show up for this! It will be nothing like you've ever experienced before.

You'll discover how much the other guys know about our locale, and about fellow group members. Also -- everyone else will find out how much you know.

We'll have teams of 3-5 guys who will compete to correctly(??) answer "Family Feud" type of questions.

The winning team gets an all-expenses-paid 10 day vacation in Tahiti. Well, OK, not quite. But, almost as good, it's rumored you will get a gift certificate for the 74th St Ale House. 

Richard will be our Emcee.  Will it be something like this (below)?

WHERE: Greenwood Senior Center, 525 N 85th St. (downstairs)

January 5: Pickleball + Cornhole, LHCC, 2pm

You have your choice of the following:

• Pickleball.
• Cornhole.
• Working out in the gym.
• Shooting some baskets.
• Conversation upstairs?

You can also hang out on the sidelines and catch up with your friends. Or, move upstairs to a quiet room for conversation.

WHERE: Loyal Heights Community Center, 2101 NW 77th St. Pickleball is inside on the basketball court. 

January 6 (Tuesday): Breakfast Group, 9:30am, Bay Cafe

Join us for our monthly Men's Breakfast chat and chew! Come on out and discover what's going on with the other guys, or tell us an amazing story about your past or what's going on with you right now. Or, bring up a topic of the day.

The Bay Cafe is somewhat hidden. As you leave the parking lot, walk north through the breezeway connecting the two buildings & toward the boats. The Bay Cafe is on your right at the north end of the building.

PLEASE RSVP to Scott as the Cafe wants a headcount.  
RSVP BY MONDAY DECEMBER 29 to nwxsw-st@outlook.com

After breakfast, maybe we'll walk around the marina as the cafe is just steps from the boats. 

WHERE: Bay Cafe at Fisherman’s Terminal, 1900 W Nickerson St.

January 6: Collaboration Team meeting, 2pm, GSC

Want to have a voice in deciding what GMG will be doing in the future? Come to our meeting and share what's on your mind.

If you're involved in a micro group, we especially would like to see you to hear about your plans.

WHERE: Greenwood Senior Center, 525 N 85th St. (downstairs library)

January 12: "What Lies Ahead for You in 2026?" Discussion, 2pm, GSC

2026 is the next year of your finite life.  What do you think is likely to happen? What do you want to happen? What is your mindset going forward? Any fears or constraints? Any dreams of something unique or amazing?

We'll do two things: Recap the events of 2025, and contemplate our future.  This is a timely opportunity to share your thoughts with the group, and to hear what your friends have to say.

Bill will be our facilitator.

WHERE: Greenwood Senior Center, 525 N 85th St. (downstairs)

January 26: Live Demo of Artificial Intelligence, 2pm, GSC

Want to see creative artificial intelligence in action, right before your eyes? This will be a group effort, so it's helpful if you can attend.

Alan is adept at creating songs from scratch, using artificial intelligence. We will spontaneously collaborate on a "Greenwood men's group song."

We'll solicit lyrics from the group, then compose a totally realistic song in minutes. Don't like it? We'll change the lyrics in minutes and presto!, a better song will be generated.

You will be astounded -- and proud -- at the result. Could it make the Billboard Hot 100? With AI, anything is possible.

WHERE: Greenwood Senior Center, 525 N 85th St. (downstairs)

February 9: "Perspectives on Your Upcoming Death" Discussion, 2pm, GSC

As each day goes by, we're one day closer to The End. How many more days do you have? 500? 5,000? 10,000?

Whatever your number is, do you have any thoughts or feelings about dying?

According to the research, men over age 65 generally view their own death as a natural and inevitable part of life, often with less fear and more acceptance compared to younger adults. Many express little anxiety about death itself, although some still experience concerns about the process of dying, such as fear of pain, loss of dignity, or becoming a burden to others.

Do you feel the same way? Or do you have a different perspective? Let's meet and talk it over.

In today's meeting, you'll view a Death Cafe video to set up our discussion. You'll also receive useful information to help you prepare and wisely come to terms with your finality.

Rich will be our facilitator.

WHERE: Greenwood Senior Center, 525 N 85th St. (downstairs)
