Enriching Experiences for Adult Learners
SPICE programs affirm life, stimulate the brain, help overcome social isolation, and invoke laughter. The courses offered span the gamut of human interests-- from music, politics, art, entertainment, history, technology, and the world around us.
Courses meet in the mornings between 10:30 and 12 once a week. There is a charge for the course due to the varied and high caliber speakers that lead us.
