LIFELONG LEARNING: Registration opened on August 13 for the Center for Lifelong Learning’s fall semester, offering Fort Walton Beach area residents 86 classes and expert-guided tours designed to keep minds sharp and bodies active while building community connections.
The nonprofit organization, celebrating 32 years on the Emerald Coast, will begin its eight-week fall semester September 8 at the University of West Florida Emerald Coast Campus and various locations throughout Okaloosa County.
“Our semester lasts eight weeks and ends with our famous ‘Final Follies’ and a Halloween party since it is scheduled on Friday, October 31. Final Follies is a showcase of our semester where our dance classes perform and students share some of their writings, art projects, etc. and we have a time to enjoy being together before the holidays,” said Holly Brelia, CLL president.
The organization offers courses spanning educational classes, arts and crafts, technology, yoga, dance, mindfulness, self-defense, current events and pickleball. Multi-week classes cost $20 each, while single-day expert-guided tours are $10. Automatic membership is included when participants sign up for a class or tour.
