LEWISTON –SeniorsPlus has announced its Education Center classes for July, including a talk by author Chloe Giampaolo, “Perceptions Based on Partial Knowledge.”
Giampaolo will speak from 11 a.m to 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 11. She is a local volunteer and author with a passion for learning and teaching. She is a world traveler, having been to all seven continents. At almost 83 years old, she has never lost her zest for life and passion for sharing her experiences with other people. Those attending the workshop will learn how judgements based on partial knowledge of a person can be mistaken to the point of being comic; and how they can be influenced and revised when additional facts become available. Giampaolo will provide a set of 15-20 facts from the life of a person, and participants working in small groups would discuss/record using a trustworthiness scale to obtain a group average of the person’s trustworthiness.
Some other offerings in July include:
True Colors, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., Wedneday July 16: Instructor Angela Moore, from Beacon Hospice will discuss a personality test that expresses the four colors of being: blue, green, gol, and orange. Each person has these colors in their personality, but generally one color affects personality and communication style. In this presentation, Moore will help those participating discover their true color and how those colors change in different situations. No one color is better than the other, but it is helpful to understand your strongest color in communication and social situations to help build teamwork so we can thrive in a community.
AARP Safe Driving: 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 23, taught by an AARP staffer or volunteer. Drivers 55 or older who complete this class are eligible for discounts on their auto insurance for three years. Those attending should bring their driver’s license, lunch and AARP membership card. Cost is $20 for non-AARP members and $15 for members.
Game Day at SeniorsPlus: 1 to 4 p.m. Thursday, July 25, an afternoon full of fun, socializatio, and popcorn. Those attending may bring their favorite game to share with others, whether you enjoy cribbage, board games, or cards — all are welcome.
