Life Long Learners


I was honored to spend Friday evening with the graduates of the Westminster Towers Summer School. This community of retired learners spent the summer taking classes in such diverse topics as finance through stock market basics, online banking, and checking; personal improvement in areas of etiquette, organizational strategies, and creative thinking; French, Spanish, and English classes were offeed; the arts were explored through ceramics, photography, scrapbooking, interior design, balloon art, lectures from the Orlando Museum of Art, and Chorus; physical exercise was encouraged with opportunities to swim, play water volleyball, table tennis and dance; such culinary delights as fried pickles nd panini sandwiches were created; and a diverse range of other learning opportunities including studies of marine biology, comparative religions, computer basics, creative writing and exploring the Wii phenomena. They truly epitomize the very definition of life long learners. It was exciting to share time with this wonderful group!
