Dear NCCCR members, 

We anticipate a quiet week at the Reuter Center next week. Some staff members are taking off early for a well-deserved break before the Thanksgiving holiday, so please be sure to call ahead if you have a specific need.  

We hope that you will have a peaceful Thanksgiving.  Please know that one of the things for which I will give thanks is the opportunity to work with and know so many of the inspiring volunteers and members who fill the NC Center for Creative Retirement with activity and good ideas, who prove that engagement and intellectual curiosity can indeed add life to our years.

Remember that you can find the Winter 2012 catalog online by clicking here. We have one correction noted so far. The title for Larry Griswold's course, "Sports History Stories from a Master Documentary Maker" is not listed in full on the calendar on page 12.  We also hope that you will take some time to read about our relationship with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes national network on page 9 in the catalog.  I am writing an article for next week's newsletter about the projects that will take place in the coming year with our first $100,000 grant. I welcome any questions or concerns (either call me at 828-251-6188 or e-mail me at cfrank@unca.edu).
