America’s founding generation believed that a republic was the best form of government for Americans. But, they warned, republics are more fragile than monarchies. They more easily fall into anarchy or tyranny if certain safeguards are not maintained, and it was up to the citizens to be on guard. What did they think we should guard against? Does their advice hold any wisdom for us today? Consider these questions with historian Joyce Haworth.  NSSC Members $15\ Non-Members $20

For 30 years educator John LeGear has been cobbling together film compilations from outstanding movies and putting them to accompanying music. His focus has always been on films that appeal to adult audiences, especially older folks who grew up going to their local movie theater on a weekly or monthly basis. The 20 selections in this presentation are all derived from LeGear’s 16 “movie music” shows and all have one thing in common: romance, in one form or another. You will see it, hear it, and feel it, too. Reminisce as you take this joyful&nbsp;journey through time.NSSC Members $15 / Non-Members $20
