Good Summer Everyone!
I miss seeing you all at the Open University and Lunch and Life. I hope everyone is enjoying themselves and keeping cool in the humidity (and dry in the rain!). Since you may not be in classes right now, I would like to share a lecture that I attended at another lifelong learning program about a month ago. It is eye-opening. Do yourself a favor and watch it. Take good care – Julie
Click here to see Dr. Bill Thomas talk about living in an ageist society.
One of the many reasons our Transportation Program is so important. What do you do if you don’t have family to help?? Give us a call to put in your time today so you can cash in tomorrow! Read Randy’s article by clicking HERE.
Would you like to hear a pretty incredible story? Then join us Monday, May 21st, to hear Curtis Monk, president and CEO of The Community Idea Stations, share with us about his personal experience being a heart transplant recipient. He will speak at 12:30 pm at St. Luke Lutheran, 7757 Chippenham Parkway. Come at noon and bring a sandwich. Coffee and cake will be available. I’m going to be there – hope you will be too!
And, we have a lunch speaker schedule change for next Thursday, May 24, at First Presbyterian. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Maria Howard will not be speaking about Warm Weather Exercises at lunch. Instead, we welcome James Garton, Associate Wellness Director at the Tuckahoe YMCA, who will speak on Wellness and Fitness for Seniors, at 12:30 pm. Again, join us at noon and bring a sandwich.
It’s the last week of the OU. Come see everyone before summer begins – Julie
Come to lunch Monday and hear Deirdra McAfee and Betty Joyce Nash, award-winning writers, editors and teachers, talk about their literary anthology, Lock and Load: Armed Fiction. It is a collection of contemporary stories about America’s guns, a collaboration filled with action, suspense and fun. Note: This presentation is not associated with any recent gun issues.
We hope to see you there – Julie
Make Every Day Earth Day!!
