Bluffton offering winter classes to retirees
Bluffton University’s Institute for Learning in Retirement (ILR), an educational program for retirees, is offering three classes led by local residents on Wednesdays, Feb. 5-March 5, in the Kreider Room in Marbeck Center.
The winter term costs $60, which allows participants to take as many classes as they wish. The fee is due at the time of registration.
Each Wednesday, judges from area counties will discuss their courtroom experiences from 10-11:30 a.m.; Tim Schumacher will share trivia and more in “A Bit of This and That” from 1-2 p.m.; and Emil Ziegler will address the history of Islam from 2:15-3:45 p.m.
To register or for more information, contact JP Schumacher, ILR director, at 419-358-3346 or [email protected].
