2:00 pm
Come to Crowell Public Library Sunday January 6th and learn about Road Scholar, America's first
and the world's largest educational travel organization for adults. Volunteer Ambassador Jill Swaim
will conduct a lively discussion of the many programs offered by Road Scholar, an organization
whose mission is to inspire adults to learn, discover, and travel in the U.S. and abroad. Jill became
interested in travel when she became a teacher, as those vacation days provided wonderful
opportunities to see the country and the world. She has given over 300 informational presentations
about Road Scholar's Adventures in Life Long Learning to various organizations throughout
California since 2012. Needless to say, she is enthusiastic about Road Scholar, having taken over
20 domestic and foreign programs herself.
You
will learn about the Four Unique
Attributes that all Road Scholar programs share: exceptional opportunities for learning through
special behind-the-scenes access to the world's most fascinating treasures;
the shared fellowship of learning and warm camaraderie; comfortable accommodations
and appetizing meals; and last but not least: excellent value. The Road Scholar
Program has expanded over the years to include an extraordinary range of
subjects and locations in every state, 150 countries around the
world, aboard vessels that transverse rivers and seas. Learning adventures open minds to new
ideas and deepen understanding of oneself and of the world's peoples, places,
cultures, history and environments. Not-for-profit Road Scholar's
meaningful, often transformational, educational adventures engage people
for whom learning is the journey of a lifetime.
Since its inception, more than five million people have enrolled in its
iconic educational adventures. The
Road Scholar program has made connections with educators and other local
"insiders" all around the world, creating learning opportunities that
show the world in a way that just can't be done alone or on a "tour."
All the details are handled, taking the worry out of the planning, so Scholars
can focus on the learning experience.
