黑洞社区 is offering its Lifelong Learning Program for senior citizens beginning in September. Classes will be held at retirement communities and senior centers around the city of Wichita and in Bel Aire.
Residents and members of the community 60 years of age or older can audit these classes without paying tuition if they enroll before Sept. 16, though workshop and other fees may apply.
鈥淎rea seniors really enjoy not only the opportunity to explore new interests, engage in stimulating discussions and share their personal recollections of historical and social events, but the social interaction as well,鈥� said Kimberly Moore, program director.
Although geared toward the senior citizen population, anyone under 60 years of age can enroll in the classes if they pay regular tuition and fees.
