JUNE 2026
Don’t stop learning this June!
It’s June and summer is here just waiting for us to enjoy it! While there will be a summer break from our LIFE classes, the LIFE Program will continue to be busy at work preparing for the LIFE summer cookout in August (details to come) and for next season’s line-up of fun and interesting classes that will begin again in September. PLUS we have a whole year’s worth of class recordings available for you to enjoy this summer for only $10/class! There have been so many excellent classes this past year that it is difficult to choose favorites, but the LIFE staff, board and members have shared some top picks that you might want to check out.
Here is a list of some LIFE Fan Favorites:
Visions of Italy: Tourism as a Positive Force with Ana Bonavita (11/19/25)
My Other Home is a Kingdom: Stories from Eswatini Africa with Terry Krieger (11/19/25)
Declaration of Independence (four sessions) with Richard Bell (1/6, 1/7, 1/13, and 1/14/26)
The Supreme Court and Separation of Powers with Timothy Johnson (1/12/26)
Hitler’s Soldiers in America with Anette Isaacs (1/20/26)

The Donner-Reed Journey (an 1846 wagon train journey) with Nancy Maxwell (3/9/26)
Remembering Route 66 with Leslie Goddard (4/7/26)
(I can already imagine you sitting in a comfortable chair with your feet up and a glass of lemonade (or whatever) as you enjoy one of these excellent classes.) You can purchase LIFE class recordings from the LIFE webpage at www.learningisforever.net. If you have questions or need assistance, please email Jamie ([email protected]) or Kerry ([email protected]) or call 507-280-3157.
We hope you have good days and a happy summer, and we will look forward to seeing you at the Summer Cookout and back in class in September!
