The “Just for Fun” group is exactly that, it’s just for simple enjoyment. This is not prose or poetry, it is not a chapter story, and although some may be humorous, most are true life.
Participants are invited to share their own related experiences and lively discussions are common place. The group should consist of individuals who can hear well (and therefore benefit), and perhaps have the cognitive ability to relate to the readings, thereby adding value to the time spent. The facilitator should make this a fun interactive listening experience.
