Lunch and Learn Series   

Our lunch and learn series is one way for our community to get to know one another just a little bit better. During our Fall, Winter and Spring terms we invite speakers from the region to present interesting stories, facts and ideas followed by questions and discussions over a catered lunch. Registrations are required so we can make sure you have a lunch.  Sign up for one, two or all of our Lunch and Learn speakers to learn about this wonderful community we live in.

During our Summer term instead of our typical Lunch and Learn format we are trying something new!  

Lunch Bunch! Thursdays in June from 11:15 a.m.-12:45 p.m. No charge, just bring your own lunch and get to know one another better through topics provided by Kay Stricklin. Topics will touch on fun conversation starters about topics from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. This is a great chance to get to know curious active adults like yourself!
