Life is full of decisions – but those commanding a loving, compassionate touch are the hardest of all. Entrusting your loved one(s) to strangers is easier if you have "confidence in your choice". For over 62 years, Christian Care Centers has been caring for seniors with the compassionate care and dignity they deserve. We currently serve more seniors in the Metroplex than any other faith-based, not-for-profit senior care provider. We believe in Wellness of the Whole Person, and every facet of our Continuum of Care reflects that mission.
Research has shown that healthy aging includes keeping the mind active and stimulated. It is an honor and privilege for Christian Care Centers to join Richland College in their Emeritus Program, because we believe these programs assist greatly in maintaining mental agility in our seniors.
We welcome you to join us at Christian Care Centers’ Greenway Village Retirement Living Dining Room for the following exciting lectures. The topics are varied and we hope that at least one (and hopefully more) will strike your fancy.
Presentations will be on the third Mondays, 2:30-4:00 p.m.
RSVP to 972-698-2604 weekdays between 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Jan 16 - What did FDR do for David Sarnoff?
The Shadow Knows….long before there was Twitter and the Internet, there was an electronic communication system known as radio. We will trace radio from its invention to its glory days just before television. We will bring back lots of memories and introduce many facts you never knew about. Tune in and turn up the volume.
Presenter: Dr. Arnold Paddock, Richland College Physics instructor
Mar 19 - "The Spirit of St. Louis"
The Spirit of St. Louis was the plane flown non-stop New York to Paris in 1927 – the first plane to successfully complete the trip. It was flown by a former US Air Mail Pilot, 25-year old Charles Lindbergh. We will examine the challenge, the construction of the plane, the flight, and the impact of this flight on aviation and on Lindbergh himself. The story of this flight, accomplished just 24 years after the Wright Brothers first powered flight, is endlessly fascinating.
Presenter: Gayle Ross, world adventurer and travel writer
May 21 - The Battle of Antietam
The Battle of Gettysburg, specifically Picket’s Charge on the third day, is commonly called the "High Tide of the Confederacy." This sobriquet may be better applied to the Battle of Antietam, fought almost a year earlier on September 17, 1862. Viewed from military, political and historical perspectives, Antietam has it all.
Presenter: Don Gates, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War
