    Timeless Melodies — Bob Hope

    Join Timeless Melodies for a presentation of songs from this American icon, Bob Hope. In a career that spanned almost 80 years, he starred in seven highly successful “Road to…” musical comedies with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour. Bob Hope was also a massive supporter of the military, going on 57 USO tours to entertain active-duty service members. Larry will bring to life Bob Hope’s remarkable career through video clips and his vast knowledge of music and the Great American Songbook.

    Happy 250th! What is The United States? 


    Professor Anthony Szczurek from Saddleback College joins us to lead a discussion about our country. This year’s semi-quincentennial marks the world’s longest experiment in large-scale democratic government, as well as a lot of political tension and disagreement about what the United States of America represents today. How similar and different are we to the U.S. of 1776? How might Americans, and the rest of the world, imagine the U.S. in the remainder of the 21st century? Sure to be a thought-provoking afternoon.

    Peter Madary as Jethro BoDidley

    Jethro BoDidley is an International Pop Star who has taken time off from his busy schedule to perform at 55 + communities, assisted living facilities and special events in and around the Southland. You will be thoroughly entertained by his playful demeanor and joyful music. What does Jethro sound like? Imagine Rod Stewart sings the hits of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s! A guaranteed good time for all!

    Happy Trails

    The Walking Club recently explored the Buck Gully Trail. It is an easier trail for more mobility levels, ensuring that the entire group could participate. The great outdoors in Southern California is a special place and members of the walking club rarely miss a chance to get outside, stretch their legs, and explore our beautiful surroundings.
