A Stellar Season
Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2016/11 - November
Since 1992, The Center for Life Enrichment has been educating, enlightening and entertaining Highlanders with their wide variety of classes and adventures.
As the community settles into a quieter season, the Curriculum Committee is busily scheduling lecturers for the 2017 season.
It’s a challenge to outdo this year’s offerings. More than 2,500 people attended 120 lectures – an increase of approximately five percent from the prior year. Whether you want to improve your bridge skills or learn to use your Apple devices better, improve your entertaining skills or your memory, you’ll find a class for you.
In September, CLE members spent four days and nights in Oregon’s Willamette Valley sampling delicious wines, and sumptuous foods surrounded by breathtaking scenery. This month finds CLE participants visiting Mexico City and Oaxaca as they explore the relationship between chocolate and orchids.
Plan early so you get one of the seats on the 2017 trip to California’s Sonoma Valley. These excursions sell out fast. CLE’s Chautauqua series brought a faculty of renowned lecturers to the plateau to explore history, intrigue, art and health in a five-day event that was reminiscent of the summer series of the Chautauqua Institute in upper New York.
Now is the time to plan for 2017. Renew your membership at clehighlands.org so that you’ll have early access when class registration is announced. CLE will be celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2017. Join the fun while expanding your horizons.
