Learn About Writing & Publishing

You�ve been asking for this for some time, and area
children�s writer/retired educator Alan Lewis (bottom left)
will oblige with the October 16th, "I Got My Children�s Book
Published; You Can, Too."

He�ll use his own experiences leading up to the recent
publication of his picture book, I Grew Up On A Farm. Alan
drew on his own childhood on his family farm near Middletown
in the 1950s. These include memories of flashlight tag and
catching fireflies, Nutsy, his pet squirrel, and other
boyhood antics.

He also learned the publishing ropes first hand! So we�ll
benefit from his valuable tips.

Try Technology; You Can Do It!

You can step into the worlds of EBay, the computer and
digital photography in 3 new courses.

Peg Abt teaches us  "How To Buy On EBay "; SUNY Orange AVP
Michael Gawronski offers  "An Introduction to Microsoft
Accessibility Features " and Barry Kass leads us in the
"Fundamentals of Digital Photography. "

 "On Stage Live ", Music and Chris�s Friday Movies Return

The arts offer us enrichment this fall. A popular venue
returns to Encore this fall when Bob Reader offers  "On
Stage Live. " Using the Orange Hall stage, area actors will
read aloud from 4 specially chosen dramas.

And if visualzed stories entice you, add Chris Farlekas�s
popular Friday at the Movies. Once again in Harriman 111,
the series features more of Chris�s special favorites.
The sound of music is tempting, too, in 4 lively
offerings.Howard Garrett brings us  "The Romantic Lieder "
which explores the special venue of art songs from Hayden to
Richard Strauss. Tom Stenson returns with  "Music of the Big
Bands ", and Mary Ellen Harrington brings us the new  "Sing
Along. "

Combining music, dance and exercise, Rochelle Marshall
returns with  "Ballet Limbering For Seniors. "

Learn About  "Then & Now "

Senior learners are always ALIVE, always concerned with the
here and now AND the  "back then. " That�s why five Fall
course offerings are especially relevant as we analyze
today�s issues and their historical connections. So consider
taking:

- New York State EPIC & Medicare Part D with new instructor
Laura Mulvihill.

- The US Health Care Disaster w/ SUNY Prof Lee Hunter

You can also study historically our leaders and their times
by attending:

- The American Presidency w/ SUNY Orange�s Paul Basinski

- The Face on the Dime:Songs About FDR & The Last Great
Depression, also w/Lee Hunter

Then come closer to home with

- Orange County History with veteran instructor Ted Sly

All of the instructors are experts in their fields and
accomplished at reaching Encore�s challenging audiences. And
we all gain by understanding our worlds even more.
