Center for Lifelong Learning

The Program

The Center for Lifelong Learning began in March, 2003. It is a monthly program for adults 55+ that focuses on education and fellowship. A seminar in the morning is followed by a gourmet lunch. The seminars are on a variety of topics from "How to Spot an Antique", to "50 years of Space", and "The Religious Journey of Thomas Jefferson". 

This is a great opportunity to have a day in the beautiful surroundings of the Phoebe Needles Center for learning and fellowship.  The seminars are offered at no cost to members, and $8 to non-members. Lunch is $8 per person.

Care to car pool? Let our chapter know. This is an amazing setting up near the Blue Ridge Parkway.
