French For Fun- Nayera Salam
French for Fun … A refresher course for beginners. Five amusing dialogues will introduce the students to basic French grammar and simple vocabulary. Handouts will include dialogue texts, grammar exercises and answers to the exercises. Additionally, students will have access to a link to listen to each of the dialogues.
Town Hall – Ray Nixon
Ray will be leading a town hall discussion of current events. And we all know that current events are going in lots of different directions right now. Our only request for this discussion is that everyone exercise something called “kind candor.” We all have our opinions and want to express them, but it is so important to do it with kindness. And we know that Ray will lead us with his usual courtesy and decorum. Join the discussion.
Tai Chi – Tina Rasheed
Our own Tina Rasheed will again be leading us in Tai Chi. Tina has a 26-year career as a public health researcher at the Morehouse School of Medicine and has applied her mission as a martial artist to bridge the health disparity gap by teaching self-applied health enhancement techniques such as Qigong and Tai Chi as a strategy to promote health and prevent disease. Tai Chi is a gentle exercise program that is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Derived from the martial arts, Tai Chi is composed of slow, deliberate movements composed of mental focus, deep breathing, and stretching which enhance physical health and emotional well-being.

Atlanta Theatre to Go — Act Up:
We are so happy to welcome back Atlanta Theatre to Go for their ‘Act Up” workshop. For four weeks you can experience your dream of being an actor! This is your chance to get those acting lessons you’ve always wanted! Or maybe to renew your joy of acting and theatre that you put aside as life went on.
Words that Moved a Nation Continued…. – Richard Botters

We will be talking about meditation and teaching you how to do it. We will be discussing healthy eating that isn’t only about kale. We have a health fair planned for October 3rd and Jim Fox is bringing his Dementia 101 class. We promise learning and laughter together. It’s real at Lifespan. Go HERE for more details!
TOAST- Teaching Older Adults Smart Technology
Sept 12-Oct 3rd iPhone/iPad Class
First four weeks will be iPad/ iPhone Class. You will need to have an Apple mobile device to make the best use of the class. We tailor our classes to your questions, so think about what you really want to know about before we begin.
Oct 10-Oct 31st Android Class
This class will cover mobile devices with the Android operating system. We include both tablets and phones, but we usually have a majority of phone owners in our class. This class requires your patience as every Android device is made a little differently than every other, but we take the time to help you with what you need.
Make sure you check which class you need on the registration form so we will know if there are enough of you to offer both classes.
