Daytime Education at Recreation
We are excited to offer
classes and lectures to our consortium of lifetime learners.
Engaging in intellectual, socially viable, cognitive activities
help keep our minds sharp and alert, while reducing the risk or
delaying the onset of age-related concerns. Daytime Education at
Recreation (DEAR - formerly OwlsWho) has become an important
staple to adults who understand the significance of this idea
and would like to reshape the way they spend leisure time,
meeting new and interesting people along the way.
