Organizations Filed Purposes:
FOUNDERS HALL IS DEDICATED TO PROVIDING A DIVERSE PROGRAM OF SOCIAL, EDUCATIONAL AND PHYSICAL FITNESS PROGRAMS FOR TODAY'S ACTIVE SENIORS IN A WARM, FUN AND STIMULATING ATMOSPHERE.
SEMESTER PROGRAMS: OUR DIVERSE AND DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR LIFE-LONG LEARNING. IN 2020, MORE THAN 3,300 PEOPLE WERE INSPIRED BY CLASSES IN ART, TECHNOLOGY, CURRENT EVENTS, GENEALOGY, HISTORY, INVESTMENTS, LITERATURE, LANGUAGES, MUSIC, WRITING AND MORE. OVER 75 FOUNDERS HALL INSTRUCTORS TAUGHT SENIOR LEARNERS; AND, THOSE LEARNERS BROUGHT LIFETIMES OF WISDOM TO THE DISCUSSION, ENRICHING THE EXPERIENCE FOR ALL. MEMBERS EXPRESSED THEIR CREATIVITY THROUGH OUR CHORUS, DRAWING, PORTRAITURE, WATERCOLORS, OIL PAINTING, WEAVING, QUILTING, SEWING, KNITTING, CROCHETING, RUG HOOKING AND WOOD CARVING. AFTER MARCH 11, THE MAJORITY OF THESE PROGRAMS WERE OFFERED VIA ZOOM. THE WILLINGNESS OF INSTRUCTORS AND STUDENTS TO ADAPT TO THIS 'NEW NORMAL' WAS INSPIRING.
FITNESS PROGRAM:OUR MEMBERS KNOW THAT IF THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP LEARNING, THEY HAVE TO KEEP MOVING. SO DURING 2020, MEMBERS TOOK ALL KINDS OF FITNESS CLASSES HERE, FROM SIMPLE STRETCHING TO HARD-CORE STRENGTHENING AS WELL AS AEROBICS, BASKETBALL CLINICS, PICKLEBALL, YOGA, DANCING AND MORE. THESE PROGRAMS MOVED TO AN ONLINE FORMAT TOWARD THE END OF MARCH.
