DescSemester Programs: Our diverse and dynamic programming offers opportunities for life-long learning. In 2017, more than 3600 people were inspired by classes in art, computers, current events, genealogy, history, investments, literature, languages, music, writing and more. Over 80 Founders Hall instructors taught senior learners; and, those learners brought lifetimes of wisdom to the discussion, enriching the experience for all. What's more, through more than 25 seminars and speakers, members learned about topics ranging from the history of recorded sound to American Civil War, music to the memories of Broadway theatre cast, travelogues to estate planning. Members expressed their creativity through our band and choruses, drawing, portraiture, watercolors, oil painting, weaving, quilting, sewing, knitting, crocheting, rug hooking and wood carving.Desc
