Shell Point’s Academy of Lifelong Learning to host upcoming programs
The Academy of Lifelong Learning at Shell Point Retirement Community in Fort Myers invites the public to attend June classes that will feature informative discussions on a range of subjects.
Florida SouthWestern State College professor Adrian Kerr will trace the origins of the Vietnamese people and their heritage. On June 11 at 4:15 p.m., “The French War, American War, and Present-day Vietnam” will utilize a sequence of photographs to depict how the Vietnamese heritage has produced a vibrant, colorful and unique religion. Set for June 18 at 4:30 p.m., “Da Nang and the Ancient Capital Hue” will illustrate the still-evident divide between the North and South.
In addition, the “Writers’ Workshop: Successful Writing Projects” will take place on June 23 from 1 to 4 p.m. Led by author and historian Robert Macomber, the workshop will share tips on how to organize, start and complete a successful writing project. It will teach guests how to keep a project on schedule, offer ways to edit without angst and provide ideas to inspire memorable writing. Attendees are encouraged to bring a large notepad and a pen or pencil with which to write.
Tickets for the classes with Kerr are $10; the writing workshop is $35.
