Eating and watching movies together is a great social and learning experience. Our Brown Bag movie group meets the third Friday of each month at 11:30 to share lunch, and, at 12:15, we adjourn classroom A to watch a movie.
It’s great fun, and every member is welcome to join us. Members can bring a friend who may want to join our Osher program.
