SUMMARY:Curious Village (formerly\, the Men's Group)
DESCRIPTION:Online registration is now closed. Please call 773-248-8700 to register. Thank you. \nIn January\, Curious Village (formerly\, the Men’s Group) will begin piloting a new communication system\, named “Gaggle”\, for general use by The Village Chicago members. Come to learn about the new Gaggle system through hands-on experience with its basic operation. \nNote that those who plan to attend are strongly encouraged to pre-register for this session and to bring an Internet -enabled device so we can provide hands-on experience tailored for each individual attendee. \nGaggle will provide an easy way for any individual Village Chicago member to form a group with other members (and non-members\, if desired) who share a common interest. Gaggle will enable group members to communicate with each other via email\, share archived materials\, and arrange periodic meetings whenever they desire – all without relying on Village staff to manage the activities of the group. We anticipate this new capability will be useful to programs\, such as Curious Village or book clubs; also useful to Committees such as Member Experience; also useful to anyone who want to share thoughts and information around a common interest\, such as AI\, visual arts\, current drama productions\, volunteering in underserved Chicago populations\, ecological issues\, etc.” \nAs usual\, your comments\, questions\, and improvements are welcomed.
