Do you want to know if the stamp collection you inherited is worth anything? Then this talk is for you. Dr. Maurice Snook will explain the history of postage stamps and especially those issued by the United States from 1847 to the present. The different kinds of postage stamps will be discussed and which ones have real value. As with all collectables, condition is most important, especially if the stamps are unused and issued before 1900. Catalog value versus the actual amount dealers will pay you for your stamps will be discussed.

Experts say, as we get older we need more exercise, more mental stimulation and more socializing with other people. Square dancing has significant health benefits by including all three needs. You get exercise because you have to keep moving with other folks in your square. You get mental stimulation by memorizing calls. You get socialization by dancing with other people of all ages. And you have lots of fun. This class is an introduction to basic square dance moves. If you enjoy it, more lessons are available after the course ends. Come join the fun!

Slime molds have an unfortunate name. However, some of them transform from an individual cell to a "thing" that can move about and ultimately grow into a fruiting body. Is it a plant and fungus, or is it an animal and fungus?

A nightmare inspired by his "little Gothic castle" drove Horace Walpole (1717-1797) to write The Castle of Otranto: A Gothic Story that has never been out of print since published anonymously in 1764. Walpole built Strawberry Hill over a period of 40 years. He was terrified that he was illegitimate: Sir Robert Walpole, his putative father (Prime Minister for 20 years) and his adored mother Catherine, Lady Walpole, were both flagrantly unfaithful. Critics have assumed that Horace was unaware of the gossip, but "Otranto," an exoneration of Richard III (1768), and a Shakespearean blank-verse tragedy "The Mysterious Mother" (1768), suggest otherwise.

Bats are a valuable and fascinating part of Georgia’s ecosystems. They provide a beneficial service by foraging on flying insects, many of which are considered pests. Bats in Georgia are facing threats from habitat loss, diminished food resources, and disease pressure. Despite the benefits that bats provide to their local ecosystems and to humans, they are misunderstood and undervalued members of our local wildlife communities. Learn more about these elusive creatures and what we can do to support them in our own landscapes.

The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7 is perhaps the best example of Jesus' core teachings in the gospels, and yet it occupies almost no place in the historic creeds or practical Christian life today, as it is often deemed high-minded and idealistic, but impractical. In this class series, we will recover this neglected text's radical vision for discipleship and community and consider its powerful present-day relevance.

Giving Voice to Linnentown is the true story of a young Black girl's family in the thriving Black community of Linnentown. Author Hattie Thomas Whitehead recounts how, in the 1960s, the City of Athens and the University of Georgia's Urban Renewal contract displaced Linnentown families, taking their homes for university expansion. Families were forced to move and separated. Decades later, Hattie chronicles her role in seeking justice for Linnentown and its descendants, aiming to give voice to a once vibrant community that was erased.
