UPDATE October 2015 website

Vol. 18 – No. 52

October, 2015

New Look! You may have noticed a different format (horizontal instead of vertical) in the September UPDATE. Also, the codes were included at the end of those articles which require registration as well as listed in the regular format at the end of the newsletter. We have had positive feedback concerning these changes which led us to look at other areas of the newsletter that might need tweaking. Beginning with this issue and continuing with future issues, the phone numbers and websites for Admission and Registration and Community Education will appear at the bottom of each page. We will eliminate the phone number at the end of those articles that require registration. However, they will still appear on the calendar page and the mailing page. If you need further information or have questions, contact the person(s) at the end of the article. Unless otherwise indicated, events will be held on the LLCC Springfield campus. Since many groups do not meet during the holidays, we are experimenting with combining the Nov./Dec. issue. We hope all of this will add to the convenience and enjoyment of reading the newsletter. Of course, we welcome your feedback and suggestions. The Update Committee

ALL Scholarship—invest in future leaders Through the LLCC Foundation office, the Academy of Lifelong Learning (ALL) sponsors a yearly scholarship for a descendant of a current ALL member who is an LLCC student working toward a degree or certificate. The scholarship is funded entirely by gifts from ALL members; no ALL operating funds are used for this purpose. A campaign to encourage donations to the ALL Scholarship fund will begin in October. Members will receive a letter explaining an opportunity to contribute to the scholarship. If each ALL member could contribute at least $10 (which is less than eating one dinner out in most places), then we would be able to help one or two students next year. Recipients of this scholarship truly appreciate the financial assistance as the costs of higher education tuition, fees and textbooks have increased significantly from when many of us were students. Please consider donating whatever amount you can to this scholarship fund that will assist our potential future leaders in achieving their educational goals. Who knows? One day they may be assisting our personal needs in some way! Betty Workman, ALL Board President

From the Prez. . . . In his poem, “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten,” Robert Fulghum eloquently stated one of life’s truisms: “Live a balanced life, learn some and think some….” His observations aptly apply to us as seniors. From my experiences in life, I proffer my advice about “What I Have Learned in Retirement.”  Always keep active in mind and body. You can still stay young, at least in your mind and, perhaps, your body also even as you age.  Time accelerates as we age. The passing days and weeks seem to move at a more rapid pace than when I was younger. The calendar days fill up quickly each month!  People make time for what they really want to do.  Changes in life are constantly evolving. Especially in today’s world of automated technology, we need to continue learning and relearning in order to live comfortably. I am thankful that I discovered the Academy of Lifelong Learning at the early stage of my retirement. ALL provides the avenue for our age group to keep active and to learn what is important in life today. To help you keep active this fall, Bowling and the Pedal Pushers groups provide fun exercise time, and the LLCC Fitness Center is available to ALL members. Learning the latest information is offered monthly on a variety of issues, such as BRT, Chautauqua, Today’s Topic, and Around Town. I hope to meet you at many of the ALL events as we keep learning together. “Learning is a treasure which follows its owner everywhere.” ---Chinese proverb Betty Workman 679-1699 [email protected]

Chautauqua: Middle East Culture: Societies in transition The Middle East is home to a variety of ancient cultures with shared yet unique characteristics and values. Chautauqua's second program on the Middle East will focus on the art, family, education and science of the region. These are aspects of their societies that are rarely reported, but are helpful to know in developing a broader understanding of a region that is rich in achievement as well as conflict. Our presenters will also discuss the challenges that currently are affecting family structure, secular and religious curriculum, technological development, and the preservation of the ancient cultural sites. The Trutter Museum will have a sampling of art from its Middle East collection for us to enjoy. Our speakers are Dr. Ali Nizamuddin, Associate Professor of Political Science at UIS, and Rabbi Michael Datz, spiritual leader of Temple B'rith Shalom. Dr. Ali Nizamuddin earned his Ph.D. in Political Science from Columbia University and worked as a researcher at the Brookings Institute. Rabbi Datz is a graduate of the University of Houston Law School and Cincinnati's Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion. He has served the Temple B'rith Shalom congregation since 1992.

Book Lovers Book Lovers will meet on Wed., Oct. 28, to discuss the New York Times Bestseller, The Boys in the Boat, by Daniel James Brown. This is the remarkable true story of how nine young men from the University of Washington rowing team, their coaches and a boat maker came together to represent the USA in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. This well- researched book captures America in the 1930s. Brown has used diaries, photos, newspaper articles, memories and interviews to develop this story. Although the book centers on Joe Rantz, his personal struggles and the hardships that he faced growing up in extreme poverty there is much more to the story. It is also about the boat, the rowing team and beating the odds in the most desperate of times. Book Lovers meets the fourth Wed. of the month at 1 p.m. in room 1142 Montgomery Hall on the LLCC Springfield campus.

Scribes In October, Scribes will explore how social media challenges writers to communicate effectively. Our Facebook posts can be part of a legacy to future generations. If you have a Facebook page (or some other form of social media), review the past six months and consider the tone and content of your posts. Posting is more than receiving likes. Does your personality shine so that when your great-great grandchild reads this record, he or she has a sense of who you are? Today, our mini-workshop will explore what makes a great original post and what doesn’t. The optional writing prompt for this month is, “Oldest, Middle, Youngest or Only Child.” Does it affect our personality? Our access to the bowl of mashed potatoes and gravy? Some social scientists say yes. Describe your birth order experience. You may bring 1-2 pages on this optional writing prompt or 1-2 pages of any current writing project. All ALL members are welcome to share his/her writing or observe the session. Scribes will meet on Thurs., Oct. 8, at 10 a.m. in Sangamon Hall, room 1133. QUESTIONS?→Nancy Hall 698-9025 nancyjames;@yahoo.com

Games The Games Group will meet on Thur., Oct. 22, from 1-3 p.m. in the Millennium Center, room 1105 on the LLCC Springfield campus. We will play two games, Farkle and Left, Center, Right. Farkle is listed as a dice-rolling, risk-taking game where deciding what to set aside and when to stop rolling the dice is the quandary. If you hesitate, you might Farkle. Left, Center, Right is also a dice game where everyone begins with the same number of chips, coins or pieces of candy or corn. The special dice indicate whether to pass one to the left, the center or the right. You can use all your chips and still win as your neighbors donate more. This game is easy for all ages even preschool grandchildren who can’t read or do math. QUESTIONS?→Cheryl Bushnell 494-3462 [email protected]

Lewis & Clark, Mississippi River and fall foliage trip Join us on Wed., Oct. 21, as we travel to explore Lewis & Clark, the Mississippi River, and hopefully view some beautiful fall foliage! At Alton, IL we will visit the state-of-the-art National Great Rivers Museum which is dedicated to telling the story of life on the Mighty Mississippi River. Its more than 20 interactive displays focus on how the river has shaped our culture, history, economy, ecology and people of the region. While there we will also take a guided tour of the Melvin Price Locks & Dam #26, one of the largest locks on the Mississippi, which is central to river traffic for soybeans, corn, grain and other commodities that are transported via the river. From eight stories in the air atop the dam, we will have the best view of Alton, the Mississippi River and the fall foliage! A box lunch and drink from My Just Desserts is included. You will have a choice of sandwich (turkey, ham, vegetarian, or famous 1/2 pound chicken salad), chips, fresh fruit apple salad, tollhouse brownie, and drink. The afternoon finds us touring the Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower in Hartford, IL. This 180-foot tower has three viewing platforms at 50, 100 and 150-feet connecting the two towers that represent Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Each level of the tower (by elevator) tells stories about the area’s history including the Village of Hartford, Lewis & Clark, and the confluence of the two great rivers as well as giving panoramic views in all directions. Before departing for home we will visit the Lewis & Clark State Historic Site. Here Meriwether Lewis and William Clark launched their expedition to explore the West in May 1804. The site offers a museum and a reconstruction of the original Camp River Dubois where during the winter of 1803-04 Lewis & Clark planned their trip. Explore the exhibits and see a full-size reproduction of the 55-foot keelboat used during their journey up the Missouri River.

Letter from the Liaison This is LLCC’s new campaign! We have been challenged to “Think before we print!” Did you know? Over 5 million copies were printed by LLCC employees last year  LLCC spends on average $206,000 on printing and paper costs each year  600 trees gave their lives for LLCC last year  1 ton of paper=400 reams=200,000 sheets  1 tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333 sheets  1 ream (500 sheets) uses 6% of a tree  Average employee prints 6 wasted pages per day, that’s 1410 a year!  The average LLCC employee prints 7750 pages per year What does this mean to you? It is still business as usual when it comes to serving our students and customers. We want to ensure we are continuing our same great service but are being environmentally aware and fiscally responsible. This will not interfere with the delivery of your newsletters, flyers, etc. We just need to be cognizant of the amount used for promotional purposes. With our support, continue to share newsletters with friends and neighbors. Help us save paper, money and trees!
