Center for Creative Retirement-Today's Program
The Center for Creative Retirement (CCR) meets Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, mornings from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and afternoons from noon to 1 p.m. Retirees seeking an intellectual challenge and social engagement will find in the program just what they are seeking.
Each day brings a fresh perspective on some topic that the members have chosen as part of the syllabus. CCR volunteers research and present the topics. As a member, you can look forward to a rich tapestry of new facts and perspectives.
CCR returns from a one-week recess on Monday October 28 for part 1 of Rogers and Hammerstein's classic musical, "South Pacific." From 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., CCR members read the parts of unforgettable characters like Nellie Forbush and Bloody Mary, and the audience sings along with the musical numbers. Lyrics are provided on a large screen, and live keyboard accompaniment is provided.
Return from South Pacfic at noon for a fact-filled one-hour presentation on the marketing of pharmaceuticals, a continuation of our series, "Advertising and Consumerism in the U.S.A." Our presenters, a retired salesperson and a retired M.D., will provide eye-opening insights.
