SSLL July 2019 Newsletter

The SSLL telephone extension will be changing sometime in July. If the three-digit 168 extension doesn’t work, try the new four-digit 1168 extension.

The new number is: 989-362-3006 ext. 1168

The SSLL office will be closed July 4 and 5.

Early Registration for the Fall Program will begin as soon as the brochures are mailed in August. This benefit is available for 2019 members who have registered by July 31st, 2018. Remember to renew your membership if you haven’t already done so. Early registration has many advantages:

• It’s a benefit offered to those who support SSLL. • There is time to register for early September events, so they don’t get

cancelled. • If events fill and have a wait list, we can try to get bigger busses or schedule an

additional date.

Note: We can now mail the Spring Program to your winter address if you provide it to the office with effective dates.

Membership Committee Short Term Commitment If you’d like to do a very specific, short term assignment, the Membership Committee needs volunteers who want to help at the Tawas Farmer’s Market on one or more Saturdays this summer. You would work 3 to 5 hours between 8am and1 pm (your choice). If interested, call Kathryn Schmidt at 989-876-0071 to register for a short (1/2 hour or less) training session.

Two sessions are being offered at IRESA next week: Monday, June 3rd at 2pm or Thursday, June 6th at 10am. If you are not available either day but want to volunteer, call Kathryn and you can work something out.

The Wood Carving: Make a Walking Stick class was a huge success. Participants bonded while creating beautiful works of art. Several participants were not able to attend the final class, so are not in the picture, but all had a great time. Thank you to instructor Greg Wilkinson for a job well done.

Shops at Eastern Market Mural Fort Street Presbyterian Church

It was a beautiful day to visit Eastern Market and see the area thriving. While leading our group from shop to shop on a sampling tour, Linda Yellen, our guide from Feet on the Street Detroit, discussed the history and current status of the market. In the afternoon we visited the historic Fort Street Presbyterian Church, a beautifulexample of Gothic archetecture.

Join SSLL on our two-day motor-coach trip to Stratford on the Avon, Ontario

❖ Billy Elliot the Musical Dreams don’t come easy in the hardscrabble mining town, driven by a bitter national strike, where eleven-year-old Billy lives with his bereaved family. But Billy’s discovery of his talent for dance awakens in him a passion that will transform his life and win the hearts of his

whole community. With its inspirational story, breathtaking dance numbers and music by pop legend Elton John, this award-winning show will appeal to all.

❖ Little Shop of Horrors Skid Row florist’s clerk Seymour Krelborn is too shy to declare his love for his co-worker Audrey – until a mysterious exotic plant brings him unexpected fame and fortune. There’s just one problem: the plant has ambitions of its own, and it thrives on only one food – human

blood. Awesome special effects, a tender love story and a fabulous sixties-style score all combine to make this deliciously campy sci-fi spoof a “monster” hit.

❖ Henry VIII Church and state collide when England’s king defies papal authority by seeking to divorce his wife, Katherine of Aragon. The consequences will be epochal for the country – and calamitous for the king’s adviser, Cardinal Wolsey, who has been playing a dangerous game of his own.

Passion, political intrigue and personal faith drive the action as Shakespeare brings vividly to life the thrilling human drama behind a pivotal moment in history.

Our Trip Includes: ❖ Premium seating at the three shows ❖ Double-occupancy lodging at the Festival Inn Hotel ❖ Group Lunch Buffet on Thursday ❖ Deluxe Buffet dinner on Thursday evening ❖ Breakfast Friday ❖ Deluxe motor coach transportation from Tawas City Wal-

Mart. *You will need either an “enhanced driver’s license” or

passport to cross the US/Canada border.

Sunrise Side Lifelong Learning Presents…

The ARK Encounter National Underground Railroad Freedom

Center, Cincinnati Art Museum and the National Museum of the US Air Force

September 11 - 13, 2019

We will travel to Cincinnati on our first day, stopping in Bowling Green to visit Snook’s Dream Cars and to have lunch. Snook’s has car collections and memorabilia presented in period time scenes ranging from a 1930s general store to a racetrack from the 1960s. On day 2, we will head to The ARK Encounter in Kentucky. The ARK Encounter is a full-sized reconstruction of Noah’s Ark, making it the largest timber-framed structure in the world. Dozens of exhibits within this unique attraction will bring to life

the biblical account of Noah’s Ark. You will learn how Noah’s family cared for the animals, what Noah’s world was like before the flood, as well as the impact of the flood on our world. We will return to Cincinnati in the afternoon to visit the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. The Center reveals the stories of freedom’s heroes from the era of the Underground Railroad through contemporary times. In the evening, we are privileged to have a catered dinner at the Cincinnati Art Museum. Located in scenic Eden Park, The Cincinnati Art Museum features a diverse, encyclopedic art collection of more than 67,000 works spanning 6,000 years. On day 3, when traveling home, we will stop at the National Museum of the US Air Force. Their galleries present military aviation history, boasting more than 360 aerospace vehicles and missiles on display. This place brings history to life and connects the Wright Brothers’ legacy with today’s stealth and precision technology. Price includes bus and driver, lodging,

admission to all exhibits and 7 meals. Registration Deadline: August 2019
