Fairhaven Lecture Series - Spring 2010: "Tell Me A Story"

Fellowship Hall, Fairhaven Senior Community Sponsored by the UW-W Office of Continuing Education

The Fall 2010 Fairhaven Lecture Series will look at biography as a literary form, look at the life and times of some of history’s most famous, infamous, and barely famous figures, and even take a biographical look at the life a famous city.

We’ll take a closer look at people and places that have changed the world, altered the course of human events, and brought us to where we are today.

Join us, won't you?

All lectures are open to the public at no charge and are held on Mondays at 3 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of the Fairhaven Retirement Community, 435 West Starin Road. Guest / street parking is adjacent to the building.
