15 Minutes of Fame
This new program brings back Show and Tell from school. The Senior Center seeks those who have a hobby they are passionate about — knowledge of a specific historical event/cultural icon, travels around the world, an interesting work background or anything that could be interesting to others. Each month, two speakers will get a chance to be the expert and lead a 15-minute presentation on their topic of choice. Anyone interested in being a presenter can call Jessica to learn more.
