Join us for a highly interactive class focused on building deeper connections, especially as we age. We'll address concerns such as making friends, communicating across generations, avoiding loneliness, and navigating difficult conversations. Despite our wisdom, these challenges can grow as we age. This class will convey effective listening techniques and communication skills to help us connect. Prepare for engaging discussions, small group interactions, and practical exercises designed to foster meaningful relationships.

Moderators: Lori Payne taught English and public speaking for 32 years; she is fond of good conversation and works to improve her communication skills each day. Karen Zaugg was a university administrator and a community mediator/conflict resolution practitioner and trainer.
