Indiana University Health Palliative Care offers specialized care for patients with life-

and symptom management, spiritual counseling and assistance in healthcare planning.

Palliative care is available to anyone diagnosed with a serious condition. This type of care

can begin at any stage in the illness, even upon onset. Palliative options are typ-

ically provided in the hospital and patients receive a combination of curative

and comfort treatments for an extended period of time. Patients also receive

spiritual counseling from a chaplain and education from a social worker on

medical, legal and financial options.

A big THANK YOU for the generous donations of our Life Members in 2017. We purchased a microwave and a coffee pot for the Presidents’ Room kitchen, a new sound system and sound board to accommodate the luncheon speakers, live music and PowerPoint presentations. We still need funds to refurbish the grand piano in the Facul-ty Room. Our top priority now is the purchase of a new office computer to replace our ten year old one, which we are nursing along daily. We hope you will consider becoming a Life Sponsor by contributing to the replacement fund and mailing your check today. Please make your check payable to the University Club. Your special gift, in any amount, will aid with the upkeep of our Club and maintain our beautiful rooms.

MAH JONGG

The University Club has a new Interest Group!

Mah Jongg is a tile-based game that originated in China. It is commonly played by four

player. The game is played with a set of 144 tiles based on Chinese charac-

ters and symbols, although some regional variations may omit some tiles and/or add

unique tiles. In most variations, each player begins by receiving 13 tiles. In turn players

draw and discard tiles until they complete a legal hand using the 14th drawn tile to form 4 melds (or sets) and a pair

(eye). The Mah Jongg group meets each Friday. For more information, please contact the group chair.

Currently we have two tables of Mah Jongg and are open to new members who know how to play or are interested

in learning the game. We are playing American style but may approach Chinese style later.

HIKING IN SOUTHERN INDIANA

The hiking group this year is doing four hikes, two at The Nature Conservancy properties and two on Sycamore

Land Trust properties. In the fall, hikers explored Green's Bluff in Owen County under the guidance of Angela

Sturdevant and Amy Weingartner Branigin Peninsula Preserve under the guidance of Shane Gibson. We are an-

ticipating two hikes in the winter/spring season.

Six hearty souls hiked the Amy Weingartner Branigin Peninsula Preserve

on November 8th. Shane Gibson of the Sycamore Land Trust (SLT) was

our guide. He provided an interesting historical perspective about the area

as he guided us along the peninsula. The land was a part of Shawnee

Bluffs Camp owned by Indiana University Alumni Association. When the

camp was sold, 48-acres was preserved as hardwood forest with trails to

the peninsula. This property just north of the causeway on Lake Monroe

is nestled among the residential properties on Rush Ridge Road off Ind

446. We were welcomed to the shore by a persimmon tree with fruit to

taste. Hikers enjoyed the brisk, sunny weather and good company. The group's next hike will be in February so stay tuned for the details of where that will be. If you want to join

this group, contact Kathleen Boggess, kboggess44@gmail.com.
