11:00 am Roundtable Discussion Topic: OGS Book Club Discussion
12:00 pm Potluck Salad and Dessert lunch - Members donate a salad or dessert for the lunch or you may bring your own sack lunch and beverage. Coffee, hot tea, cups, plates, napkins, and utensils are provided. If you have a special diet, then feel free to bring your own lunch. (We ask for a suggested donation of $5.00 to cover the cost of supplies and meeting room rent.)
1:00 pm Program: Speaking English in the U.S.A. - Linda Forrest
Our American ancestors didn’t talk like we do today. This presentation explores the distinctive regional accents that developed from multiple colonial roots, immigrant influences, and historical events that shaped and continue to shape USA English. The tech gods willing, we’ll hear some authentic voice recordings from different regions.
