Greetings Senior Scholars members!
Hello again, Senior Scholars. We have begun our spring term and look forward to our weekly opportunities to come together to hear informative and interesting presentations. We hope to provide you additional chances to meet each other, learn together and develop the friendships that make everything more meaningful. Those chances include, of course, our three-day mountain retreat in late April at Wildacres and you’ll learn more details about the program that we plan as the next few weeks unfold. If you enjoy “breaking bread” with other Senior Sholars, our Lunch Bunch organizers are planning those get togethers, which will start shortly. |

Our weekly presentations, of course, have already begun. If you attended our opening session, (due to the weather on October 10, of course, we had to shift that presentation to a Zoom-only format), then you have renewed (or begun) your membership for 2025. If you didn’t and haven’t yet renewed your membership in order to avail yourself of those opportunities, you have three methods to do so, as we detail in these e-mails and on the website. Don’t forget that you’ll need to have your 2025 membership card to attend our meetings.

VOLUNTEER TODAY!
If you haven’t yet finalized and activated your New Year’s resolutions, consider becoming an active volunteer in Senior Scholars. We have urgent need of some capable and interested members for these roles, among others: Second Vice President, a field trip coordinator and a member to help us put out our weekly e-mails to members. Find out more and let us know of your interest at the link below.

Songs of Solidarity, Songs of Protest, Songs of Hope Amidst Struggle: A Brief Survey of the Impact of Music on the Radio for Social Movements

Joe will provide an overview of songs, artists, genres and eras of music on radio that reflect and have impacted various social movements in America. Joe will be one of our presenters at our 2025 Retreat at Wildacres, where he undoubtedly will discuss the impact that music has had and can have on social movements more in depth.
