Association of Lifelong Learners

Did you ever wonder how sculptures like this are created? Recently ALL members and guests were treated to a presentation by the person responsible for creating several of these magnificent sculptures. Ann Gildner showed us the process for creating these sculptures with particular focus on “The eagle has landed” sculpture recently added to the Alpena courthouse lawn. 

Enjoy the August 18th History Hounds lecture at ACC Madeline Briggs. ALL members can view the others from home using instructions provided by the ALL office.

Master Sergeant, US Army (Retired) and ALL member Wendy Payne captivated us with her story about transitioning from the Women's Army Corps (WAC) to the real US Army. Thank you Wendy for your service and being an inspiration to women - young and old!

The Association of Lifelong Learners' Moveable Feast participants gathered at Up North 23 Restaurant on the shores of beautiful Lake Huron in Rogers City on Wednesday, July 22, for some great food and lively conversation. There may have even been a HUGE slice of chocolate cake consumed by a couple of ladies (they may or may not have taken some home for later - only attendees know!)

Join our lively group on August 6 at Alcona Brew Haus for my fun and great food.

ALL members recently participated in the ALL Second annual scavenger hunt as coordinated by member Lisa Rosebeck. Members were Challenged oner knowledge of history and locations around Alpena. Winners were The Yoopers: Rob & Jane Roose, Brooke Roose (guest not pictured), and Tom Hilberg

Tuesday was a delightful afternoon at Granum Theatre as Gary Hauck melded into Patrick Henry and shared with us the experiences of being a part of the American revolution.
