    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.

    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.
