Special Interest Groups

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are groups of Osher members sharing common interests who meet on a regular basis to enjoy or share that mutual interest. Each SIG has a volunteer coordinator responsible for group activities and adherence to Osher guidelines.

SIGs are open to all Osher members. They are not intended to promote sales of services or products. All SIGs must comply with Osher at Dartmouth policies. Osher supports SIGs through promotion and scheduling space in our Court Street classrooms and meeting areas.

To join or establish a SIG, contact the Osher office at (603) 646-0154 or email osher@dartmouth.edu.

Crafting for Charity

Crafting for Charity

Join us to make blankets, hats, or scarves for charity. The majority of our projects will go to The Upper Valley Haven. In the process expand your skills, try something new, make some new friends, and have fun being part of something bigger. 

Since September of 2019, this SIG has created and donated scarves, cowls, baby and regular blankets, hats, mittens, and sets of matching hats and mittens. This SIG for members runs July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.

Poetic Passages: A Summer Writing Group

Summer 2025
Sig Poetry

 This six-week Special Interest Group grew out of the Spring 2025, Osher Poetry Writing course, led by Stephen Hackman and is open to all Osher members. The group will meet every two weeks for a total of six sessions!  The first meeting is:  Monday, June 30 at 1:00 PM, at 1 Court Street in Lebanon, Suite 250, Room 2A.

 

The format is informal and welcoming. Participants will generate a list of writing prompts to inspire their poetry and will share their work for discussion and feedback at each session.  Osher Membership is required.  There is no cost for the Special Interest Group.
