County of Granville issued the following announcement on Aug. 24.

Granville County Senior Services is getting ready to begin the 2022-2023 Creative Lifelong Learning (CLL) program. The fall 2022 CLL schedule promises to offer something for everyone with courses focused local and world history, quilting and crafts, physical fitness, and a special program featuring the Our State Magazine Travel and Events Director. The program schedule will be updated in the coming months with classes that will appeal to diverse interests and people from all walks of life. 

Some upcoming program highlights include: 

• Presentation by Amy Pasquini, Travel and Events Director for Our State
• Tai Chi
• Quilting

• The Templars & the Crusades
• The Holocaust: It Didn’t Start with Gas Chambers

The CLL program’s mission is to provide opportunities to engage the mind, elevate the spirit, and foster the well-being of adult learners through a wide range of educational programs, physical activities, and social events. The program is modeled after the Osher LIfelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Duke and N.C. State Universities, as well as other Triangle-area senior center programming, and is funded through a generous endowment and by annual memberships, class fees, and donations. Course registration priority is given to Granville County residents over the age of 50. Those under the age of 50 may register if there are remaining seats. To begin or renew your annual CLL membership, visit the CLL webpage or visit the Granville County Senior Center (107 Lanier Street, Oxford).
