Spring at Last!

The spring quarter of Adventures in Learning began April 7th and runs through Friday, June 9th. We have a full slate of classes and speakers ready for your enjoyment.

After Zooming for the winter quarter, we will again be meeting in person.

Our regular classes continue in Mind and Body Mechanics, line dancing and Adventures in Art, as well as News and Views, our popular current-events discussion session.

You will find more choices at 11 a.m., when two different selections will be offered each week. One option will be “A series of series,” featuring talks on Civics (a three-part series), Sports (a four-part series) and Barbecue (a three-part series). The other option is “Let’s Explore,” a 10-week line-up focusing on different topics each week.

Noon Forum will resume with lunch and a keynote speaker each week. Bring your own lunch or order a box lunch from Adaire Stewart, 816-293-9612, by 10 am the Wednesday before.

Come for the whole morning or drop In for one or more classes that fit your interests. A new take on box lunches Shirley Legg recently spearheaded a committee to explore new options for box lunches. This quarter, we will sample lunches from different caterers, and we’ll invite your feedback to pick a favorite. The price remains $10.
