Bill Bracken introduced speaker John Scheelk to inform us about Learning in Retirement,
LIR offers lectures and day trips to its members.
There are 66 lectures offered this semester. Many are presented by UWO professors. The variety is amazing. Just a few examples include: Bees and beekeeping, Nano particle and Clean Energy, Technology Updates 2017, Funny Men (and Women), and From Fireside Chats to Fiery Tweets: Presidential Communication Styles.
Membership is for youngsters 55 and above, though they are considering relaxing that. Cost for the lectures is just $100 per year.
Many of the lectures are at UWO, where a parking pass can be obtained for just $20. Others are at Evergreen.
There are also ten day trips this semester. Fees for those are extra.
John also admitted they are not strict about attendance. If a member brings along a non-member spouse, that spouse wil be welcome.
We learned that Bill Bracken has been a member for about 3 years, and is Vice President. President John has been a member for 2 years.
