1950s: Communism, Conformity & Civil Rights
If the parents of Baby Boomers were part of the “Greatest Generation,” what are the Boomers?
Chopped liver? Join us in a conversation about the 1950s. Bob will bring some facts you may be unaware
of about this period. You bring some recollections. Beware: not everything during this period is as happy
as Lucy or The Beaver would have had you believe. The course is open to those born before 1947 and
after 1963 as well as those born during those years. (It was a 15-year-long decade, okay?) You will not
be required to duck and cover under the desks.

A Journey of Italian Ancestry
In this course we will explore a personal journey to pursue dual Italian citizenship through ancestry,
known as jure sanguinis (by law of bloodline). It’s a journey that many people make every year and the
law and criteria continue to change. But this course is NOT just for those of Italian descent. We will
explore the resources beyond Ancestry.com. We will learn how to order records, how to search the
National Archives and order certified records, and how to access the US Citizenship and Immigration
Services records. Come along and learn more about your ancestors, so that you can pass that
knowledge to the next generation!

American Icons: John D. Rockefeller, Frances Langford and Salvador Dali
These three people have led very different lives; John D. Rockefeller, as the founder & president of
Standard Oil, became America's 1st billionaire over 100 years ago. Was he a tyrant or generous
philanthropist? Everyone was "In the Mood for Love" when Frances Langford, renowned Big Band
singer, rose to fame from radio to the movies during Hollywood's Golden Era. She was also the Armed
Forces Sweetheart, performing for the troops in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Salvador Dali produced more
than 1,500 paintings as well as sculpture, jewelry, lithographs, set designs, etchings, and objects d'art.
They each have something to do with Florida: Rockefeller's winter home is in Ormond Beach and open
to the public, Frances and her husband built the Frances Langford Outrigger Resort (the restaurant is
famous for its shrimp dishes, along with a picture gallery of her), and there is a unique museum in
Clearwater that houses an extensive collection of Dali's works. Come learn some more about these
three American Icons!
Instructor:
Audrey Byllott
After working for Citibank for 20 years, Audrey became a Director for MasterCard USA for six years, then
joined MasterCard Europe as a consultant for five more years. Her banking career may have nothing to
do with American Icons but her love of history and interesting people does! As a Lifelong instructor,
Audrey has lectured on 18 American Icons. All of them have museums and/or homes right here in
Florida and are worth a visit.

Ladies. How did their lives before living in the White House impact the contributions they made while

there? What were their lasting legacies? The position of First Lady is a fascinating aspect of American
culture. Together, let’s learn more about the influences of some of the remarkable women who have
served in this role – a role that has no job description.
Instructor:

around Washington, D.C. Always fascinated with the history of Washington, DC and especially The White

Thursday 1:30 — 2:45PM
Ancient Greek Influences on the Contemporary Church's Views on Women
Plato and Patriarchalism. This course will survey Plato's writings about the nature and role of women in
ancient Greek society, and then trace how those patriarchal views have persisted even until the present
day in the Christian Church. We all inherit ideas and thoughts from the culture that surrounds us and
the generations that preceded us. Ideas can be amazingly persistent! It is interesting to trace the
history of certain ideas, such as the role of women in society and the church, and then pause to consider
whether or not the origins of those ideas justify their ongoing acceptance. We will discuss reasons to
conclude that Plato's world view does not warrant such continued influence on this topic. This will be a
fun look at history and at our current ideas too!

Science, a Masters of Divinity, a Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Formation, and PhD from the London

Cartooning Step by Step
You say you can't draw. You tell me you have no talent. But wouldn't it be cool if you could draw your
own cartoon characters? I say you can! Yes, there are a couple of basic rules, but once you learn them –
anything goes! In this class, we will start by examining well-known cartoon characters: head shapes,
facial features and expressions, body shapes and movement. Through some basic lessons to help us
interpret our observations, we will create our own character or make ourselves into a character.

the beautiful colors of spring flowers. Through a no-drawing-required approach, we will color flower

Common Mistakes, Falsehoods, and Misunderstandings Around Money
This new course will build on our previous courses about money management. We will focus on the
most fundamental mistakes that investors and planners make and why they make those same mistakes
again and again. We will explore the math behind a decision and why the math often doesn’t support
the investor’s behavior. Bring a pencil, but don’t be scared … it will be fun for all the math haters as well!

Cyber Security and Your Money
We are under attack! Our senses have been heightened to the constant attacks to steal, scam, and
access our money and identity. Whether it’s a full-on malware attack, or a phishing scam that has caught
you off guard, the result is often the same. In this course we will bring to light the most recent scams
that are being perpetrated against people to access their money. We will share some of the materials
that are being shared in current day training to broker dealers, investment firms, and banks to prepare
for breaches. We will use examples of real investigations to highlight current trends and how you may
protect yourself. Remember, we must be diligent every time, but the criminals only have to be right
once. Explore what you can do to stay safe in the world of cyber security.

Historic Kidnappings
Join us as we explore three prominent kidnapping cases of the twentieth century.
In Class 1, we’ll discuss the Lindbergh kidnapping. Charles A. Lindbergh and Ann Morrow Lindbergh had
their first child taken from his crib in 1932. Was this act committed by an individual or by a gang? Many
theories have been put forth over the years. This class will consider a most recent one.
In Class 2, we’ll look at Patty Hearst’s abduction in 1974. Hearst, the heiress to a large family fortune,
was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army. We will discuss how the Stockholm Syndrome
appears to have affected this case.
In Class 3, we will study the case of the Muse brothers, five and eight years old, who found themselves
in a circus sideshow act. This is a "Jim Crow" story from the turn of the last century. It involves a
mother's love and that of her sons -- over twenty-five years of searching for each other. The story will
soon become a feature motion picture.

Joking Around
Joke telling is one of the best ways to ease tension, make a new friend, or light up a room. That is, if you
can get a laugh. Telling good jokes is an art. In this course, we will continue exploring the art of the joke.
We’ll get even more advice from experts, continue learning the components of a good joke, practice
telling a few -- and listen to a lot. Laughter is strong medicine. It can trigger healthy physical and
emotional changes in your body, strengthen your immune system, boost your mood and squash stress.
So, join us to learn how to tell a joke and, if you want, tell us one or two. If you’re not a joke teller, join
us anyway…we can all use a good laugh.

New Urbanism in Celebration
New Urbanism is the building of complete communities to create diverse, walkable, compact and
vibrant places to live, learn, work and play. They are designed to help people know their neighbors and
enjoy a unique sense of place. Celebration is a traditional American town built anew. In the words of its
master architect and planner Robert A.M. Stern, Celebration was "to recapture the idea of the
traditional town, traditional in spirit but modern in terms of what we know about how people live." This
course will introduce you to the history of New Urbanism and the team that built our community.
Discussion will include the fundamentals of New Urbanism and how and where they play out (or don't)
in Celebration.

Plant Hunters
Have you ever wondered where many of your household and landscape plants originated? Wonder no
more as we explore the fascinating world of Plant Hunting! We will look at Sir Joseph Banks, a British
explorer and naturalist, who sailed with Captain James Cook. And let’s not ignore the accomplishments
of the ladies. Learn about the lives of naturalists such as Maria Sibylla Merian who explored South
America in the 17th century, Anna Atkins who studied seaweed and was one of the first women
photographers, and Emily Dickinson who was better known in her lifetime for her skills as a gardener
and botanist than for her poetry.
These scientists all had a passion for travel and exploration and an absolute love of the plants they
collected. But there is a dark side to plant collecting as well, since there’s always the possibility of
bringing back microscopic fungus and non-native species that may become invasive. Sit back and enjoy
some armchair travel as we explore the world of Plant Hunting!

Women in the Arts: Mary Cassatt
Mary Cassatt, the American Impressionist painter who lived in France for 54 years and co-founded the
French Impressionist Art Movement, was an artist with a life full of paradoxes. She was classically
trained, but rebelled against the art establishment and created her own “independent" artistic style. She
was known for her exquisite portraits of mothers and children, reminiscent of Madonna and Child
Renaissance paintings, but she never married and never experienced motherhood. Cassatt is also
considered to be the impressionist printmaker par excellence and was instrumental in bringing
traditional and impressionist art collections to American museums. A staunch feminist, Cassatt
advocated for women’s rights. We will delve into Mary’s interesting life story and her extraordinary
artistic achievements. “I have touched with a sense of art some people - they felt the love and the life.
Can you offer me anything to compare to that joy for an artist?" Mary Cassatt.
