Winter Respite Lecture Series

~ 11th Season ~


Once again, Diana and Bill Adams are excited to offer you their 11th season of the Winter Respite Lecture Series.  As in the past, each lecture differs in topic and yields insight to diverse worlds as presented by authors, educators, historians and noted personalities among others.

The Winter Respite Lecture Series has both enlightened and enlivened the community with its varied talks and presentations. It has evolved into a popular monthly event designed to combat the doldrums of frosty, less inspiring days.

All lectures are held on Sundays at 3 pm and are followed by refreshments. There is no charge
and all are welcome, although seating may be limited. Given weather and illness, please call to confirm date and topic.

Join us if you can!
