COMMUNIVERSITY---THE INSIDE SCOOP

BY B.J. DOUGLAS, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNIVERSTITY

A member of the Communiversity Planning Committee recently pointed out to me that many residents might like to know more about how Communiversity is organized, how we determine what classes to offer, and so on. So I jumped at a chance to write the cover article for this To The Point.

First, a bit of history as to how Communiversity came to be. The land was pur-chased from the Sisters of Providence. Being a teaching order, they insisted on a covenant requiring that there always be an educational component attached to the land. This requirement was first met through an agreement with the next-door Lutheran Bible Institute to make their classes available to all residents. In 1992, however, Communiversity as we know it today was formed as the non-profit, Communiversity Services, Inc. A Governing Board is responsible for all legal and financial issues relating to Communiversity, and for hiring and evaluating the Director. A Planning Committee consisting of interested residents provide guidance and feedback regarding current classes and help determine what new classes should be considered.

The Planning Committee and I meet once a month to discuss the next quarter. First we look at the ongoing classes. As I’m sure many of you have noticed, quite a few of our classes continue from quarter to quarter and from year to year. These classes---geology, watercolor, writing and yoga to mention a few--- are ones that have proven always-popular, drawing good-sized registrations every quarter. Then we consider new possibilities, in terms of possible interest and in terms of budget. (Since Communiversity is funded from homeowner’s dues there’s a financial limit to the number of classes that can be offered.) Some new classes are suggested and taught by residents who have expertise in a particular field and a desire to share that expertise. Other new instructors often come from the Telos program at Bellevue College. The Director of that program and I talk regularly and share “hot prospects.” A class may be proposed for which there is no obvious instructor, in which case I commence to search by calling friends in the field, contacting other continuing education programs, and sometimes even advertising on Craigslist!

After the classes are chosen for a given quarter, it’s time to create the schedule. I begin by contacting each instructor to determine his or her availability and preference as to days and times. Since there are many committee meetings and other activities that also use the available rooms, Lorri and I have created a schedule showing what rooms are available for Communiversity classes on what days, and I fit our classes into those slots. I know this often creates classes that

overlap and that sometimes puts classes in a location some residents may have trouble getting to, but this is indeed an “active” retirement community, and with so much going on, well…..just please know that we’re doing the best we can!While some other retirement communities offer a few classes to their residents, Communiversity is truly unique in the size and breadth of its offerings. I’m sure the good Sisters of Providence would be pleased.

We will try to do that next year when we have bus drivers available. Residents who make suggestions will be called-upon to help with the planning of trips they suggest.

We will note your ideas for next year and accommodate as many as possible. We have placed a sheet and pen on the Hikers’ and Walkers’ Bulletin Boards in the vestibule next to the Activities Office in Collin Hall. Helen’s email is [email protected] and phone 425-369-9067. We must combine hikers and walkers on our trips in order to help pay bus transportation costs. Most Walkers prefer an eatery to bringing their lunch.

We will have coffee and tea. If you wish, please bring a “trail” snack to share. ‘See you on Friday, the 9th of November… Your Hiking and Walking Committee: Helen Bell, June Muel-ler and Bob Kenagy.

7:00 p.m. Winthrop BuildingThe Providence Point Book Club will meet at 7:00pm on Wednesday, November 28th in the downstairs social room of the Winthrop Building in Washington Village.


The group will discuss One Amazing Thing by Chitra Baner-jee Divakaruni. An earthquake rips through a passport and visa office (in America) trapping nine characters of diverse backgrounds. There’s little food, dwindling oxygen, no elec-tricity or phone service. The office begins to flood. When the stress escalates to a level almost too much to bear, one character suggests that each tell a personal tale, “one amaz-ing thing” from their lives, which they have never told anyone before. We hear stories of romance, marriage, family, political upheaval and self-discovery. From the author of three best selling novels, “comes her most compelling and transporting story to date.” (From the publisher,)Critical praise for this bookThe characters “shared experiences and fears forms the frame that holds this compendium of short stories into an absorbing novel…At the end of her novel, her readers are fully engaged in what will happen to these nine people.” (Washington Post)“Writing with great sensitivity, Divarkaruni presents snapshots that speak volumes about the characters, so unexpectedly drawn together. Highly recommended.” (Library Journal)“… a wise and beautifully refined drama…a story teller of exquisite lyricism and compassion, Divakaruni weaves a suspenseful, astute, and unforgettable survivors’ tale.”(Booklist)There will be no December Book Club Meeting.All are welcome to join in our discussion. Call Barbara Beyers (391 5952) with any questions.

FROM THE LIBRARYIf you enjoy reading non-fiction books, you will enjoy the sta-tion that WAVE, our new TV cable provider, has now made available to those of us who only get the TV service included in our Providence Point dues. On C-Span 2 (Channel 100 for those with the small adapters), we now receive "Book TV." C-Span 2 (which covers the Senate otherwise) provides 48 hours of weekend programming concerned with non-fiction authors and books.

The first weekend that Book TV was available, I watched a good part of the Saturday lineup. Most of the items discussed were on the subjects of history, biography, and politics. Among the authors featured were two women, whose new books cover a wide spectrum of political opinion: Gail Collins, author of "As Texas Goes...How the Lone Star State High-jacked the American Agenda;" and Phyllis Schlafly, author of "No Higher Power; Obama's War on Religious Freedom." Some other speakers included Stanley Weintraub, author of "Final Victory; FDR's Extraordinary World War II Presidential Campaign;" Ruchir Sharma, author of "Breakout Nations; In Pursuit of the Next Economic Miracles;" Samuel L. Pop-kin, author of "The Candidate; What It Takes to Win—and Hold—the White House;" and James Fallows, author of "China Airborne."

There was also a tour of a new exhibit at the Library of Con-gress that featured 88 of the "Books That Shaped America;" an interview with Kareem Abdul Jabbar, whose new children's book features Black inventors; a visit to the party celebrating the 175th anniversary of the publisher, Little, Brown; and short segments listing current non-fiction bestsellers at indepen-dent booksellers (with brief descriptions of each book). I am thrilled to once again have this resource available—this programming was one of the few things I have missed since I moved from my home in Bellevue (on Comcast cable) to Providence Point 6-1/2 years ago.
