CHAMBERSBURG – The Institute for Retired Persons has announced its upcoming week of lectures and activities, continuing its mission to provide engaging educational opportunities for retirees. The program schedule remains unchanged from last week and is accessible on the organization’s website, IRP-online.org.
The lectures are either via Zoom or in person at the Menno Haven retirement community in Chambersburg.
Feedback from recent lectures highlights the success of previous sessions. On March 18, Matt Wedd from the Conococheague Institute shared insights into historical preservation, while Catherine Mauss, DO, provided valuable resources on Lyme disease during her March 27 talk. Participants were directed to resources such as the CDC’s website and Lyme-focused organizations for further information.
Attendance continues to grow, with an average of 39 participants joining Zoom lectures and 56 attending in person over the past three weeks.
This week’s schedule includes diverse topics:
-
Monday, March 31: Mariann Martin teaches English online to international children via Zoom at 9 a.m.
