The Learning Council As you read this, program leaders and committee members are wrapping up details for the activities of our upcoming summer. Each activity group tries to plan so we can meet the deadlines for this newsletter. One of the tasks of The Learning Council is to coordinate program subjects to avoid duplication, yet foster occasional collaboration. As soon as that task is completed, each committee will move on to planning for the fall and the first six months of 2017. How can you help? First, volunteer to serve on one of our activity committees — we always need fresh ideas. Most meet four to six times per year. Many distribute hosting duties so that the tasks of helping on any individual program are limited while idea generation increases and shared by all. If you prefer to be more behind the scenes, you could volunteer as newsletter writer for your committee or help with recording committee attendance. Second, contribute your ideas to the chair or member of a particular learning program ANYTIME. Remember to think ahead. It may be several months or more before an idea can be initiated after approval. Third, do not be hesitant if a subject has already been used. Our planners do try to avoid repetition, but there is always a new angle or a year down the road for a repeat. If you learn that the idea does not fit the format of one program, ask whether it might fit with another program or special interest focus. One of the beauties of ALL is that members decide what they want to learn. Tell us, please. Nancy Ashbaugh 217-529-7111 [email protected] Judy Wagenblast 217-381-5115 [email protected]

Tech Talk Tech Talk will hold its inaugural event on Thurs., May 19, at 1 p.m., in Logan Hall, room 1139. This first session will be an overview of some of the top social media internet sites that include LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook. Wayne Huckabee will discuss the basic structure of each site for members to more fully understand the choices available and present the topics. The type of information shared on the sites will be noted. An open discussion period will follow the presentation for questions and answers. The Tech Talk committee would like to thank all who participated in the topics survey. It is the intent of the committee to cover all the topics identified per the survey in future sessions as resources become available. Please register for this session.

From the Prez. . . . Today’s fast-paced electronic world has provided fertile ground for shortcuts in many facets of daily life— including our daily language. A most obvious example is the growing practice of slashing a standard word down to just a letter or two. This practice drastically reduces the time and effort it takes to tap out a message on a smart phone but it takes some of us triple that time to decipher it. Many abbreviations and acronyms have been common to our age group for many years (ASAP, Dr., lb., org., max.) and some are even found in this issue of the UPDATE. In some electronic messages, many words and phrases are shortened to the point that it is difficult to even understand the intended meaning. It may be faster for the writer, but not the reader! Do we now need a “texting vocabulary list” just to read the messages from our grandchildren? This may be an idea for a lesson from our new Tech Talk group. If you received the following abbreviated message, would you find it insulting or confusing?? “U R MA 2 LOL AT HR PDA” “In language, clarity is everything.” Confucius Betty Workman, Board President 217-679-1699 [email protected]

Latest cancer research findings President Barack Obama in his State of the Union address named Vice President, Joe Biden, to command the effort to eradicate cancer and its many ramifications on society. The Vice President has promised to bring all the fighters together to share information and collaborate for a cure. Although the campaign to diagnose, treat, and cure certain cancers has made steady progress over the past four decades with new treatments, many cancers are still on the rise. Join us at the Today’s Topic on Tues., May 10, at 10 a.m. in the Trutter Center when Roger Crawford, a representative from the American Cancer Society, will answer many of our questions. He will enlighten us on the promising advances made in the exploration of precision medicine and immunotherapy in the prevention and cure of cancer. Please register for this program.

Chautauqua: Springfield water quality and quantity Illinois is fortunate to have access to the waters of the Mississippi, Ohio, Wabash, Illinois Rivers and numerous lakes, including Lake Michigan, which is part of the largest fresh water system on the planet. Illinois also receives substantial federal funding to address water issues. Only Michigan and New York received more than the $667 million (2011-2015) Illinois has received. The scale of the water problems facing communities across the nation is reflected in the enormous expense that is involved in maintaining existing systems. Decades old water treatment systems and sewer systems are beginning to fail, and communities are facing increasing costs. Chautauqua's Thurs., May 12 program looks at Springfield's water management issues of infrastructure, alternative water sources and soil and water conservation. Our panel will include John Higginbotham, Dept. of Public Works sewer engineer, Bill Rice, retired engineer from Hansen Engineering and Dept. of Natural Resources alternative water supply, and Eric Golden, research conservationist for the Sangamon County Soil and Water Conservation District. Their presentations will cover current conditions and future challenges for Springfield. Please join Chautauqua from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. at the Trutter Center. Registration is required for this program.

Scribes Sooner or later, most writers find themselves staring at a blank page—writer’s block! Are there techniques available to help you find ideas and put words on the page? This month, the mini workshop will explore strategies to overcome that blank page. The optional writing prompt, “Parks and Picnics”, will give Scribes the opportunity to explore those parks and picnics that were part of your youth. Packing a picnic lunch, exploring trails through the woods or swimming in the park pool are some ideas for sharing. You may bring 1-2 pages based on the optional prompt or 1-2 pages of any current writing project. All ALL members are welcome to share their writing or observe Scribes. Scribes will meet on Thurs., May 12, at 10 a.m., in Sangamon Hall, room 1133. QUESTIONS? → Nancy Hall 217-698-9025 [email protected]

Swinging Seniors “April showers bring May flowers…” green fairways, glistening greens and solidly packed sand traps. Oh the fun of it all as we begin our new golf season! We met for our organizational meeting in April where everyone reviewed the pamphlet information and discussed scheduling weekly game winners and other recording information. Let’s all remember that the more we practice our skills by visiting the putting green and driving range at Brookhills Golf Course, the better we will play on Wednesday mornings. We will gather at the clubhouse at 8:30 a.m. with a 9 a.m. tee time. See you on Wed, May 4, for our first league play! QUESTIONS?→ Patty Mees, Chair 217-652-4829 [email protected]

Book Lovers The book group will meet on Wed., May 25, to discuss Colleen McCullough’s novel, Bittersweet. McCullough was the author of more than 20 books including her bestselling saga, The Thorn Birds in 1977. The novel is also set in McCullough’s home country of Australia. It is the story of four sisters (two sets of twins) who take one of the few professional avenues open to them in the early 20th century—nursing. The four Latimer girls have their own dreams: Edda wants to be a doctor, Grace wants to marry, Tufts never wants to marry, and Kitty wishes to escape the burden of being a renowned beauty. As the sisters become immersed in hospital life, each must make decisions about love, career and what she values most. The focus of the story is always on the sisters, but along the way, the novel explores the politics of the time and the growing awareness that the Great Depression is real and disastrous. Book Lovers meet the fourth Wednesday of the month at 1 p.m. in Montgomery Hall, room1142.

Games The Games Group will meet Thurs., May 26, from 1-3 p.m. on the bleachers at Iles Park to learn the game of Pickleball. Iles Park is located on the corner of 6th and Ash streets. Parking is available across Ash Street in an empty lot. Pickleball is especially popular with senior citizens as it is slower paced and with less movement than tennis. In fact, it continues to gain popularity nationally. Leaders of the Pickleball organization will supply equipment and instructions. We suggest you wear smooth-soled “tennis shoes” such as Keds as they provide more sideway flexibility on the court. However, any shoes will work while you are learning. We have scheduled Pickleball early in the spring so that those new to Pickleball can attend beginner sessions held at 4 p.m. on Wednesdays at the park. If you are unsure about playing, come and observe. We are fortunate to have facilities and an active group in Springfield. A national tournament is held here in the summer. In case of rain, we will move to the Millennium Center, room 1105, and play an indoor card game. CatchPhrase will be the game in June.
