PPG1109 My Neighbor's Voice Community Table Tuesday, 9-10:30 a.m., Herring Center, Vick Seminar (HC102) Please join us this spring as we explore different universal community topics using My Neighbor’s Voice Listening Cards as our tool. The format is simple. A trained MNV facilitator will help with each story table. Each participant within a group of six will draw a card from a category presented and have three minutes to answer the question. The other participants will listen without interruption. The next participant will choose a new question. As the story table continues in this way, everyone will listen to each answer without response, commentary or discussion. After several rounds, we will bring everyone together to talk about the experience of listening and to further discuss and explore as a group any of the questions that sparked interest. The categories that we will be choosing from are: Hello Neighbor, Gathering Together, Civic Rights and Responsibilities, Health and Environment, Our Society, Political Thought, Sacred Thought, Our World, Home and Hearth, Who are We, Our Work, and American Culture. We look forward to seeing you at the table! Mary Anne Inglis co-founded My Neighbor’s Voice in 2017. She managed a number of her husband’s congressional campaigns and taught English as a Second Language before retiring. PPG1112 Gratitude: Why It Matters and How to Practice It Effectively Tuesday, 9-10:30 a.m., Herring Center, Huff (HC105) We often hear, “Have an attitude of gratitude,” but what does that really mean and why should we? In this class, we’ll explore how gratitude deepens well-being, generosity, and connection—especially in the reflective seasons of life. Through practical exercises, guided reflections, and meaningful group sharing, you’ll discover what both science and wisdom traditions reveal about why gratitude works and how to create a practice that feels authentic and nourishing. Together, we’ll explore how appreciation softens self- judgment, enriches relationships, and opens the heart to a greater sense of abundance and peace. Leave with simple, sustainable tools
