Recently Dorothea Sandra, an internationally renowned artist currently residing in Rogers City, Michigan, shared her three-month experience as an artist in residence at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai, China with Association of Lifelong Learners members and guests.
Dorothea painted a vivid picture of the time she spent living in residency with artists and writers from around the world, going to events throughout Shanghai, and glimpsing into the real China and its people.

Teri List spent much of her finance career in consumer companies, including Procter & Gamble, Kraft Foods, and Gap, Inc. Over the course of her career, she had the fortune of traveling the world, visiting over 55 countries. On August 25, 2026, Teri did not make a presentation on corporate finance, but, instead, shared her adventure climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro - the tallest mountain in Africa and the tallest freestanding mountain on earth - with her two daughters. The trip taught her many things.... but they weren't about mountain climbing.

Recently ALL members and guests were treated to a presentation by the person responsible for creating several of these magnificent sculptures. Ann Gildner showed us the process for creating these sculptures with particular focus on “The eagle has landed” sculpture recently added to the Alpena courthouse lawn.

The Association of Lifelong Learners' Moveable Feast participants gathered at Up North 23 Restaurant on the shores of beautiful Lake Huron in Rogers City on Wednesday, July 22, for some great food and lively conversation. There may have even been a HUGE slice of chocolate cake consumed by a couple of ladies (they may or may not have taken some home for later - only attendees know!)

Join our lively group on August 6 at Alcona Brew Haus for my fun and great food.
