Planning for the 2024-25 season
As the 2023-24 season winds down event teams are busy planning for next season. New season events begin in September with a full schedule of Classes including Great Decisions and PC Reads, the Speaker Series and Trips. For the summer several activities are being planned and will be published on the website when the dates are confirmed.
Weekday Speaker Series:
Weekday Speaker Series are at the Tuscany Falls Renaissance Theater. Summer program dates and times vary. Event fee is $5 at the door. No registration required. Open seating.
Join Thomas Struve, retired tugboat captain, June 25, Tuesday at 1 p.m., as he gives a brisk overview of how the Mississippi River serves as the nautical spine of the U.S., providing a very critical transportation artery that connects over 12,500 river miles and hundreds of middle American river ports to the world via the Port of South Louisiana at the Gulf of Mexico.
The Weekday Speaker Series team will return in September with new topics to look forward to.
PC Reads:

Thank you to the wonderful LLL Volunteers
As LLL ends the 2023-2024 season, we know that volunteers are what makes LifeLong Learning special. We appreciate our volunteers’ contributions and value their past participation. There are about 70 volunteers who worked hard to plan, organize, and produce the award-winning Classes, Great Decisions, PC Reads, Speakers Series and Trip events for our community.
The event planning for next season began early spring. LLL is in the process of updating its volunteer rosters and making certain the teams are fully staffed. Help is needed with the following teams: Audio Visual/Sound Technical Support, Classes, Communication and Marketing, Community Outreach, Finance, Speaker Series, Lobby, and Trips Teams. The LLL teams depend on the volunteers to function effectively and provide our award-winning programs to our PebbleCreek Community.
Thank you to the LLL Volunteer Team Co-Chairs, Pam O’Shea and Jill Burnham for all their excellent work this season.
