Greetings to New and Returning LLRH Friends;

Happy New Year! We have a wonderful selection of new classes for Spring Semester! The time to register is NOW! Classes will be held Monday through Wednesday, February 6 through March 1. If you are new to the Highlands, this is a great way to meet other residents with a thirst for learning. And if you have lived in the Highlands for years, we hope you will want to test out the courses we’ve selected with you in mind!

Two tours (with a small additional fee) we have lined up are

The Presidio followed by an optional lunch downtown

Tucson Museum of Art docent-led tour including the New Mexico Moderns Exhibit

Onsite classes include

National Parks in the Tucson Area – U of A Fred Fox Wind Quintet – Streetcar Art in Downtown Tucson – Desert Gardening & a Plant Exchange – Hospice 101 – Surgery in the 1920s in Rural America – The Nuclear Threat, from an ethical perspective – British Humor in the 70’s and 80’s – and Photosynthesis. Finally, our favorite Tucson Art Museum docent, Susie Heintz, will educate us on artists Hopper and Wyeth!

The Great Decisions 2023 Series, put together by the Foreign Policy Association, includes a book of readings with sessions including a video on each topic facilitated by one of our LLRH members – Spring Semester topics include 1) Iran at the Crossroads, 2) Economic Warfare, 3) Energy Geopolitics,and 4) Politics in Latin America

All 20 courses are described with dates and times on our website, www.llrhdm.com which you can also access through our Lifestyle page on the Highlands website. Forms to register and to become a member are available there for online registration. The semester fee of $40 for Highlands’ residents and $50 for non-residents allow you to take any of the courses offered. (There is an additional fee to purchase the 2023 Great Decisions book which is used for both Spring and Fall semesters.) If you have questions, call Alan Jones, Registrar, at 206-714-6049. You may pay by check or with a credit card.

Finally, because we are affiliated with Road Scholars, this year we are offering a Beat the Heat Tour to Montreal and Quebec City from August 22-28. If you have interest in joining us, call Prudy Abeln at 575-613-3337 as soon as possible. Space is limited!

At Lifelong Learning in Retirement at the Highlands at Dove Mountain, we believe curiosity and the desire to learn never ends! Join us in 2023!
