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.
