FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DATE: Oct. 9, 2009
Registration open for Ross JCC’s new Lifelong Learning Center
Dozens of classes, seminars, discussion groups begin in January
BOYNTON BEACH — Do you still have a passion for learning? Do you regret not taking that art, religion, or literature class back in college? Do you want to improve your understanding about a subject close to your heart, or simply keep your mind sharp? Then, the new JCC Lifelong Learning Center—“The Health Club for the Brain”—is perfect for you.
The Lore & Eric F. Ross JCC is excited to announce that registration is open for classes at the Lifelong Learning Center. The Center, located at the JCC, 8500 Jog Rd., just north of Gateway Boulevard, is scheduled to open in January with a seemingly endless choice of courses, seminars, lectures, and discussion groups taught by retired professors, lawyers, politicians, rabbis, authors, and even Holocaust survivors. And there are no grades or homework!
The spectrum if classes offered is broad and wide with offerings such as: “Political Correctness Funny-Side Up,” “Socrates Café,” (where the class decides on the topic to tackle), “Looking Good, and Feeling Good at Any Age,” and “Group Dynamics Today.” More academic fare such as “Supreme Court Decisions of the US Constitution: Presidential Uses and Abuses;” “The Future of Israel,” and “The History of Jews in France” will also be taught. Classes of the self-help sort include “Insurance for Dummies: Avoiding Scams,” “How to Write, Self-Publish, and Sell Your Own Book,” as well as a seminar on public speaking. Among arts offerings are “The Sounds of Jazz: Remembrances of the Big Band Era,” and “The World of Art.”
The 75-minute classes are scheduled for two periods Monday through Friday afternoons, 12:30 p.m.– 1:45 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. -3:15 p.m, and will run anywhere from two to six weeks. The Center will hold three sessions: winter/spring (Jan –April), summer (June –July), and fall (October –December), totaling 31 weeks.
