SICL - Stockton Institute for Continued Learning

SICL - Stockton Institute for Continued Learning Stockton Institute for Continued Learning (SICL) offers workshops & day tours for lifelong learners. The Speaker Series is free and open to the public.

SICL is a non-profit volunteer organization for older adults offering learning experiences in an informal setting. It is a partnership between San Joaquin Delta College and adults in our community. There are no textbooks to buy, no tests to take, no credits to earn; just a desire to learn and to experience new things. A new schedule of affordable classes, speaker, and tours are offered each fall a

nd spring terms. Membership is made up of persons from all walks of life -- concerned citizens who are still curious and have the time and desire to pursue lifelong learning. Our members say SICL classes and tours stimulate their curiosity and keep their brains active and alert.

On the road again, and this time was for a walking tour and lunch in Rio Vista. KUDOS to this lovey little city for building a beautifully landscaped walk way starting at the bridge with lovely views along the river. Our tour included the history about Rio Vista, the architecture and historical buildings, plus the downtown area, with numerous nice restaurants and shops.

May 1 was the final event for SICL's spring term. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Go Falafel. One of the owners told us how the business started as a food truck and later expanded to their location on Pacific Avenue. SICL's Fall term will run from Sept. 8-Nov. 14.

SICL was "the road again" for an interesting tour of the newest state park project: Dos Rios in Modesto. The transformation that was made over the past five years, through planting natural plants and vegetation on virtually bare land, was amazing. Our members took a 1.5 mile walk around the pond while enjoyed the spring flowers, birds, and nature.
