By coming together as a community, we can honor the legacy of those who came before us and work towards a more inclusive future.

CENTER FOR LIFELONG LEARNING: Over 90 classes will be available this fall
If you’ve been weighing the possibility of taking some classes now that you’re retired, here’s some help to make a case for doing so. I’ve heard several comments from seniors such as “I’m retired — I’m done with classes and learning.” But the speaker obviously hadn’t thought about the positive effects of continuing to seek new knowledge throughout life. Lifelong learning, especially in a classroom setting, offers many advantages for seniors, especially in terms of enhancing brain health and promoting social interaction.
