CLASSES

MondaysNew! Long Term Care Planning with Medicaid in MindTommy G. Smith, Attorney at Law is a Board Certified Elder Law Attorney, helping families identify options to minimize the impact of long-term care and plan for the future of their estate and assets. Planning for care as we or family members advance in age is something that most people do not want to think about. However, a “failure to plan, is a plan to fail” when long-term care is involved. Our goal is to minimize distress for you, your loved ones, and your family, providing peace of mind and allowing for added financial security and preparedness for later in life.14-Sep | Mon 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM | $12Instructor: Tommy Smith

New! Shirley Jackson: Beyond The Lottery — 3 SessionsWith a highly acclaimed biography by Ruth Franklin available, along with a 2020 movie titled in her name, Shirley Jackson is ready to meet a new generation of readers. If your knowledge of this quirky, audacious observer of human nature is limited to high school with her short story “The Lottery,” you are in for a treat. From the Franklin biography, “She was a talented, determined, ambitious writer in an era when it was still unusual for a woman to have both a family and a profession. She was a mother of four who tried to keep up the appearance of running a conventional household...Jackson’s brand of literary suspense is part of a vibrant and distinguished tradition that can be traced back to the American Gothic work of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allen Poe and Henry James. Her unique contribution to this genre is her primary focus on women’s lives.” The short stories that will be discussed in this engaging class will be sent to registrants to be downloaded online.26-Oct to 30-Oct | Mon, Wed, Fri 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM | $15Instructor: Stephanie McNeill

Updated! We also Helped Bring Gone With The Wind to the Screen!David O. Selznick was the driving force behind bringing Gone With The Wind (GWTW) to the screen. But he did not do it alone! Join Judy DeBolt as she continues her GWTW series by introducing you to the other gentlemen who were responsible. You will meet the three directors — George Cukor, Victor Fleming, and Sam Wood. As well as the second in command, William Cameron Menzies, who was instrumental in developing new technology (for 1939) for the movie industry.

And then the others: the costume designer, the visual effects director, film editors, and many more. Come and learn their stories to fully understand how this talented group of gentlemen, under the leadership of David O. Selznick, managed to make the greatest movie of all time.30-Oct | Fri 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM | $12Instructor: Judy DeBolt

Updated! An American Icon: Irving Berlin — 2 SessionsHe could not read or write music. He could only play the piano in the key of F Sharp Major. Born in Russia, Irving Berlin came to the United States at the age of 5 and published his first song by age 19. By age

30, he had written hundreds of songs and owned his own theatre on Broadway which is still in use today. Some of his hits include “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” “White Christmas,” “God Bless America” and many more! Composer Jerome Kern said, “He has no place in American music. He IS American music.” At his 100th birthday celebration, Walter Cronkite said, “He helped write the story of this country, capturing the best of who we are and the dreams that shape our lives.” Join Judy DeBolt for more on Irving Berlin’s life and be prepared to listen to many of his songs that were important to America and American musical theatre.
