FINANCEFinancial Plan - What Is It? And Why Do I Need It? – NEW

Session #1 Thursday, 4:15 – 5:30 p.m.

In this course we will explore a real comprehensive financial plan. This is the type of plan that a fiduciary

would prepare, in order to portray an accurate snapshot of a person’s current financial position, and help him or her plan out various goals, objectives and plans. The plan is a roadmap that helps show someone the roadblocks that might be in the way, while also highlighting the opportunities that one can take. Going far beyond rates of return and assets, instead the plan dives into all six areas of the full “financial person.”

Investments 2.0 – NEW


This is an advanced investing course focusing more on the technical side of investing and real returns. We will focus on the factors that contribute to overall return as well as the impact of fees and internal fund costs. Although we will not discuss recommendations, we will look at “past performance” movements and how they affect the investor’s belief and choices going forward. As a hot topic of discussion, we will dive into intrinsic metrics and debate the age old question of value versus growth, as well as the self-limiting return strategy of certain options.

Dan Zagata See previous bio.Jeffrey L. GoldsteinSee previous bio.

Retirement Beyond the Numbers – NEW


When it comes to retirement planning, what haven’t you thought of? This course explores the portion of retirement planning seldom mentioned when preparing for or living in retirement. Factors that could influence happiness in retirement and stressors that may change situations (such as health events, motivation, loss of loved ones and others) will be discussed in depth. The course will focus on cognitive maintenance, the digital divide (elderly population vs. ever changing technology) and other barriers not financially related.


Retirement Strategies - Lifestyle, Investments, Income & Cash Flow - Part 1

Session #1 Wednesday, 2:45 – 4:00 p.m.

This course will focus on the realities and myths of retirement investing. You will see the impact of living in retirement, and we will discuss the financial truths of living an active lifestyle, supporting family and managing your own finances. Also, after working for so many years, your mind must shift from accumulation to distribution. We will show you a conservative approach to wise money management and help you identify lifestyle issues facing retirees. Attendees will learn how to maximize income, investments and retirement plans. This course will show you the impact of taxes, inflation and withdrawals on your portfolio. We will also teach you how to build a cash flow ladder to help you “sleep better” when thinking about your retirement assets. This course is a repeat from Fall 2016 and Spring 2017.


HEALTH & MEDICINEBetter Bones: Fall & Fracture Prevention

Session #2 Tuesday, 1:15 – 2:30 p.m.

Every 13.5 seconds, an older adult is treated for a fall injury in a hospital emergency department; many never recover their previous quality of life. Every 20 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. Falls and fractures are preventable! Understand the biological, behavioral, socioeconomic and environmental risk factors for falls and fractures and develop a positive, practical and personal plan for prevention. Specific topics include assessing your risk, medical management, changes in your environment, an overview of osteoporosis, and exercises for balance, gait, mobility and stability. Plan your life now to live actively and independently into the future! This course is a repeat from Spring 2017.

Bongs, Binges, Beliefs and Beyond: Making a Difference with Drugs and Alcohol – NEW


Drugs and alcohol surround us – underage drinking, drunk and impaired driving, the opiate crisis, marijuana use, addiction, pain pills, recovery and so much more. Are these just youth problems? This course starts with the assumption that most of us are concerned with drug and alcohol abuse and want to do something. The focus is on the continuum of care – from prevention to intervention, and from treatment to recovery. We will explore the reasons for substance use, the nature of problems, why some people become dependent and helpful strategies for action. We will focus on enhancing competence, confidence and commitment through our own understanding of our personal experiences and values.

addressed during each of session weeks two and three. This course is not intended as medical treatment or advice and is not a substitute for evaluation by a licensed provider. This course is a repeat from Spring 2017.

PERSONAL ENRICHMENTBridge: Responding to One No Trump Convention or No Convention? That is the Question – NEW

Session #3 Wednesday, 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (2-hours)

Bridge is a fascinating, enjoyable and lifelong pastime which research studies show may help people sharpen mental acuity and lead a healthier and happier life. So it’s no wonder that bridge players keep trying to improve their game! One No Trump is a great opening bid since it is so descriptive – indicating both a narrow point range and the shape of the hand. Yet it is often easier for the partnership to make game in a major suit rather than in no trump. In this course, we will explore several conventions that will help the partnership reach the best contract after a One No Trump opening. In Class 1, we will investigate the Stayman Convention, which helps the partnership find an eight-card major fit. In Class 2, we will learn how to use Jacoby Transfers to tell our partner that we have a five-card major; and in Class 3, we will explore some of the variations of the conventions, such as transferring to a minor suit or dealing with interference from your opponents. If you’re a player who wants to expand your playing prowess, this course is for YOU! Class size is limited to 20.

I Can't Even Draw a Stick Figure – NEW


In this course everyone who thinks they “can’t even draw a stick figure” will learn to do so! Each person will pick a random phrase from a basket and use it to create a short comic strip … with stick figures. We will have a group session to hear what everyone selected and throw some ideas around. We could even help each other out by posing a bit. This course should provide a few laughs and at the end everyone

should be able to say, "I CAN draw a stick figure!” Materials Fee: $5. Class size limited to 20.


Wet Felting for the Holidays – NEW


Want to make some special gifts for the holidays? Then this is the course for you!

In class two, we will use the same type of wool and by layering colors and creating patterns we will make bookmarks. In our third class, we will embellish our soap bars and bookmarks with needle felting and stitching on decorations. You will need to bring: 1 large towel, 1 cookie sheet with edges or similar sized water proof tray, 5-6 bars of nice soap (olive oil soap is best) and a bag for carrying your items.

Whittling & Beginning Wood Carving – NEW

Session #2 Wednesday, 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (2-hours)

In this hands-on course, we’ll do a project in each class exploring the techniques and skill development for shaping wood into pieces of beauty and functionality. We will talk about knives and carving chisels, and cleated work surfaces while being a safe user of sharp tools, as well as, how to keep your tools sharp. Please bring a sharp multi-bladed pocket knife to the first class (3 blades is enough). You will know your knife is sharp enough for carving if it cuts a sheet of hanging paper with a gentle down stroke. You may want to also bring any wood carving chisels you already own. Upon completion of this course you’ll be invited to join the Celebration Wood Workers Club which will entitle you to some wood working and supply vendor discounts. Materials Fee for wood: $7. Class size is limited to 10.

He taught leadership classes in the U.S. Army. Since retiring as CEO from a medical group, he has refocused his energies on working with wood, whether building custom furniture in his business "Artistry in Wood," carving or whittling items his grandkids enjoy. The creative process and energy from accomplished projects is so very satisfying to Veryl who wants to pass along his enthusiasm for wood to those who choose this course and who will learn to whittle playful and useful items.

WORLD CULTURES & LANGUAGESBeyond Bossa Nova: The Culture and Language of Brazil – NEW


In 1964, as The Girl from Ipanema swayed along the beach, she swept a wave of Brazilian music and culture throughout the world. Today, Brazil’s made a comeback, especially in Central Florida, as our neighbors, tourists, superstars in Orlando stadiums, barbeque restaurateurs -- and an economic force. In this course we’ll touch on the historic influences on Brazilian music, elements of the soccer-samba-Carnival stereotype and the cultural norms that largely define Brazilians vs. Americans, in an effort to bridge the gap. We’ll also practice some conversational Brazilian Portuguese, a beautiful and mellifluous language (so if you want, you can sing the song, too).

Rachelle RichardsonRachelle Richardson holds a B.A. in Portuguese (Linguistics minor) and an M.S. in Business (Marketing) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has had her own advertising business as marketing strategist, creative director and writer/producer, working on such assignments as the American Girl Fashion Show. As a personal project and fundraiser, she filmed and produced a short documentary about AIDS orphans in Zimbabwe. In 2004, she became certified as an English as a Second Language teacher and worked at Wisconsin ESL institute, where she taught Business English and Business Across Cultures. Besides having paraded in Rio Carnaval, Rachelle has traveled and done business throughout Brazil as WESLI’s Brazilian-student recruiter.

Tai Chi Chuan for Health & Well-Being – Jacob Glassmeyer Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese form of exercise originally created as a fighting art with origins dating back over 700 years. Mainly practiced today as a gentle form of exercise with many health benefits, the words “Tai Chi Chuan” would loosely translate as “Supreme Ultimate Exercise or Skill.” Utilizing breathing, visualization, relaxation and natural movement, Tai Chi Chuan generates health, longevity, internal strength and power. Our discussion will focus on the many proven health benefits of Tai Chi Chuan for older adults, including balance, stability, mental focus and pain relief.
