A Message from our President
I extend our warm greetings for 2013. This year we offer robust, new choices based on your input. Our 2012/2013 Winter Program offers an exciting array of Lectures, Classes, Book Club choices, Day Trips and International Films.
- We expanded our Winter Class schedule and are offering a choice of one day classes for members who wish to dip their toes briefly into topics that include China, India, Financial Decisions for Women and Punta Gorda’s Historic Murals.
- Our six week class program is larger than ever. We diversified our Foreign Policy Association’s Great Decisions Course to include a discussion with a career State Department Officer on how US Foreign policy is made.
- We’re introducing a range of new subjects that include Wellness Alternatives and the Faltering Recovery.
- Our Arcadia and Englewood courses add great local flavor.
- Our March Miniseries will appeal to a wide range of audiences, whether interested in political-religious movements, exotic travel, social media and important recent history rarely reviewed.
- Our Book Club continues to grow. Our Trips, other Programs and our International Film Festival on War and Peace will inspire our existing members and attract new members and friends.
