HomeGrown: Lectures Learning Locally - Series 2 Kicks Off October 2nd, 2014!
2014/2015 Series of Home Grown Lectures at the Wayne Art Center: Local experts address issues from business and politics, to the arts.
HomeGrown-Lectures, Learning, Locally is a series of presentations given by local experts that address issues ranging from business, politics and healthcare to history and the arts. Former Radnor High School teachers, Lois Wysocki and Susan Wolf launched the lecture series in collaboration with the Wayne Art Center in 2013-2014.
Recognizing the enormous wealth of talent and experience among the local community, Wysocki and Wolf have once again, made it their goal to bring to light the fascinating knowledge and journeys that have brought extraordinary people from our local area to their present positions.
Lectures will take place at the Wayne Art Center from 7:30to 8:30pm followed by question/comment sessions. Evenings end with refreshments and an opportunity to socialize with neighbors and friends.
