We are trying some different things this summer, making our session a little lighter, without sacrificing fun. Since many of you travel during the summer and our session is often just a little smaller, we decided to try a new approach. We are offering three classes at each time slot instead of our regular four. Each of these options are a series of classes taught by different instructors. Our history and author series, for instance includes both great historical presentations and talking to fun authors. And our Fun in the Summer will be a mix of lots of different activities. We thought this chance to mix and match would be fun for the summer.
10:00 am to 11:00 am
History and Authors Series:
We have three marvelous history classes planned for this session, with Frances Harrold, Brandt Ross and Richard Botter each joining us for a session. Danielle Grabol will be having a session about her newly released book, Fear No Distance: A Journey to Life without Limits. And the Book Club has a couple of other author surprises for us.

Older But Still Getting Wiser
We have a great series lined up for this session. Amy Henschel, from Senior Provisions has an Atlanta Senior Living Puzzle Presentation, Triff Cook from Home Care Assistance will offer a fun and entertaining discussion about the transportation challenges we face as we age in Atlanta called “Crying and Driving.” Brian Becker, our Lifespan Treasurer will be presenting on financial issues we all need to think about as we age, and Jill Powell from Kadan Home Care will help us figure out how to have a great life as we age! We think it will be a great series.
During this session, we are going to enjoy a variety of fun activities. We will bring the bingo set out again for a fun game or two (with prizes), do some photography sessions, use our Photo Booth again, and Mimi will lead us in creating a Lifespan Academy mural. We also hope to have someone from Trees Atlanta come and present about their wonderful program. And we will have a tomato grower extrodinaire come and give us tips on growing amazing tomatoes. It will truly be fun.
