Learning Unlimited

 

"A commitment to continuous learning for older adults in our community."

 

Learning Unlimited is a lifelong learning program open to ALL residents.  We exchange knowledge and information through presentations, discussion, and bouncing ideas around in collaborative, interactive and inclusive ways.  And no one is too young-or too old-to participate!  Phyllis Gausman presides. 

Be at the Morris Senior Center at 1:00 p.m. on program days.

 

 Officially established in June 2001, Learning Unlimited's goal is to provide learning opportunities for older adults in a multitude of areas. Offerings include enrichment courses such as computers, armchair travel, health and fitness; courses and forums in the humanities; trips and other special seminars.

Our Community-Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Learning Unlimited seeks volunteers for the Evergreen Reader/Elder Reading Circles Program: The Evergreen Reader Program is a read-aloud activity which brings the richness of quality literature to older adults and helps them remain creative, thoughtful human beings.  Reading Circle Volunteers choose selections from the The Evergreen Reader, a resource featuring the best of our literary heritage, emphasizing Minnesota or Upper Midwest authors, as well as more recent works and significant historical documents.  The readings may trigger shared memories leading to group discussion, but silent listening and reflection are just as important as lively conversation. Evergreen Reader Volunteer Opportunities are available at Grandview Apartments, Skyview Court, The Courage Cottage, and West Wind Village.
