What is this "lifelong learning"? It can take a multitude of forms; but let us name a few: Members and guests may attend a lecture on philosophy by the President of Alpena Community College (ACC). Or perhaps it is a tour of Nowicki's Sausage (watching a top-grade, Alpena-made food being produced.) It may be a presentation by a local doctor, dealing with medical questions, a lesson on how to bake the best apple pie, a forum on election choices, a canoe trip down the AuSable or a hike to the sink holes. Where else can you learn about local fishing practices and impressions of China, all in the same week? Each semester explores exciting topics and takes Alpena area residents on new adventures, both physical and intellectual.
 Initially the organization was founded in 1998 for people fifty years of age or older; however, the members are adaptable and skilled at change!  They realized that young people in today’s culture often miss out on the advantages of interacting with older people like they used to in days gone by.  The Association has adapted to fill this need and is now open to members of all ages and intergenerational activities are enthusiastically promoted. Evening classes are being added so that young working people are able to attend.  The Association avidly promotes the love of lifelong learning across age boundaries.
