The MISSION of The Sage Society is to foster ongoing in-depth study of topics, using research and communication skills, to further the knowledge of its members. The SIGNATURE of The Sage Society is Scholarly.
On 6/8/2021 Ruth Anne Lawson presented to Sage on The Manhattan Project, available here in its entirety.
She closed with a story about the role Japanese origami played in the life of Sadako Sasaki, a Hiroshima survivor who succumbed to cancer from the event a decade later. Click here to read this story, and print instructions for creating Origami cranes.

June 2021 Newsletter
Dear Sage Society Members,
We had a big turnout for our first meeting since the COVID shutdown last March 2020 and I am happy to report SAGE IS BACK. Enthusiastic thanks and gratitude for our well-informed tour guides, Gina Baker and Donna Armer who gave us the grand tour of the Pat Conroy Literary Center, our new home.
Coming quickly on the heels of this newsletter, we meet June 8h, our regular time, 4pm, to hear a program by Ruth Anne Lawson on The Manhattan Project.
Then we will take a summer hiatus and re-convene on September 14, again at 4pm, when Mary Ann Mikell will have the program, The History of the Spanish Moss Trail.
Jerry Stocks will have our October 12th program on Mosaics.
On November 9 Rebecca Davenport will present to us.
A bit of business: One of our charter members, Carol Louvray, is leaving us and moving to Greenville, SC. In fact, June 8 is her last meeting. You will be sorely missed in this community, Carol. Note that there is no meeting in December and our Annual Meeting (with no program) is set for January 11th.
