We expect the second pour for ready-mix/concrete for the footings and foundations this week or early next week for the second building. The pours will begin at about 3:30AM. Additional notifications will follow when the work schedule is set.

The underground utility work is wrapping up.  The blue piping is for domestic water, the black piping is for fire lines, the green piping is for sewer, the gray piping is for electrical and the white piping is for sewer lines inside of the buildings.

We will be working on the east drive/Boutique Blvd. near the dumpsters just north of the community garden next week. There will be driving restrictions while we tap into the water lines in the roadway.

This week between the hours of 6AM and 3PM from Monday, May 20th—Friday, May 24th the northeast corner of the campus will be CLOSED to DRIVING TRAFFIC due to construction from 6AM to 3PM. PLEASE USE 17TH DRIVE ENTRANCE TO ACCESS THE WEST END OF CAMPUS as you will not be able to drive around.

RESIDENTS, PLEASE NOTE: YOU WILL STILL BE ABLE TO PARK ON THE EAST SIDE OF CAMPUS IN YOUR NORMAL PARKING SPOTS AS ASSIGNED during these times. Security will be directing and notifying those who enter off of Glendale Avenue of these restrictions.

Dust control is in effect at all times on all sites. We appreciate your cooperation and patience during times of construction traffic restrictions. For questions—please contact Scott Mardian, Sr. VP of Redevelopment, [email protected].

LifeLong Learners Update

Sun, January 6, 2019 Published by

You’ve been asking—when is the new catalog coming out? When do classes start? I hope we’re having a short story class again. What’s Tom Denny teaching this time? Your questions are answered. You have your catalog. The schedule is set, and so are the registration dates—Jan. 14th and 15th. If you have questions, join us today (Jan. 7th) at the back of the Plaza Bistro from 10:00AM to 2:00PM.

A quick look at the schedule shows old favorites such as Poetry, American Art, Arizona History (that’s the Tom Denny offering), Spanish, French, TED Talks, Movies, Word Playing and American Short Story.

To pique your interest, we’re offering these new courses:

Jewish Short Story taught by Rabbi Elana Kanter

Beginning Spanish (often-requested)

Court Compendium, an outgrowth of Our Courts

Death and Dying, discussions to be facilitated by Success Matters interns

Supreme Court Decisions by our resident judge, Bill Schafer

Storytelling—If you attended the Christmas service where Rev. Doug Bland told about nativity figures and children, you met our Storytelling teacher.

In addition, Dosia has organized a three-parter called The Wonder of Birds, and Bill Chase will energize the subject of Construction, by explaining what’s going on all around us. Last, our faithful computer ladies have come up with a new topic—The Useful Internet.

And in between old and new are an expanded Enneagram, an updated Presidential Fiscal Policy, Recorder for both new and continuing students, Income Tax, PowerPoint, Word, and the popular Saturday phone/tablet courses.

We hope you’ll find something intriguing among the offerings – no grades, no credits, no tests! See you in class.*

MORE FILM FESTIVAL FUN!

Sun, August 5, 2018 Published by

Last August you told us how much  you loved  the First Annual Film Festival! Your Lifelong Learners Committee now proudly presents the Second Annual Film Festival. Again, the Festival provides a cool, entertaining break from the dreaded “dog days” of August.

Mark your calendars for Thursday, August 23rd and Friday August 24th. On both days in the Life Center you will enjoy two FREE movies and popcorn. These films feature seasoned, award-winning performers in positive stories of “Reconciliation: Hollywood Style” this year’s Film Festival theme.

Here’s the schedule:

On Thursday, August 23rd—the first film begins at 10:00AM; the second movie will begin at 1:00PM. On Friday, August 24th—the longer first film begins at 9:30AM, the second film at 1:00 PM.

There’s no need to “sweat the heat”  between each day’s films—as an optional buffet lunch will be available in the Life Center. Use your B-Card to purchase each day’s lunch tickets in advance at the Plaza Bistro. Each ticket costs $6.50 per person, per day ($13 for both days). Remember, this is optional—but tickets are required in advance if you would like to have lunch catered by our wonderful Dining Services team.

You will enjoy four chances to win a $25 Harkins Theater Gift card! Drawings occur after each movie.

You spoke, we listened! On Thursday morning Jessica Meyer returns again this year. Using her vast knowledge of successful aging, she’ll introduce the movie, I’ll See You in My Dreams, and hold a discussion based around the film.

On Friday morning, Arlyn Brewster of Carnegie Hall fame returns to introduce Fried Green Tomatoes. Arlyn later leads discussion and recaps this award-winning motion picture.

High Society concludes our Second Annual Film Festival starring superb performers whom we all adore. Its music will gladden our hearts.

Here’s a recap of all films and times and a synopsis of each:

Thursday, Aug. 23rd  at 10:00AM: I’ll See You in My Dreams (Blythe Danner & Sam Elliott). Love prevails: A long-time widow who is a retired singer experiences two new chances at love.

Thursday, Aug. 23rd at 1:00PM: The One Hundred Foot Journey (Helen Mirren, Om Puri)  Fierce culinary competition yields to cooperation. Love prevails.

 Friday, Aug. 24th at 9:30AM: Fried Green Tomatoes (Jessica Tandy & Kathy Bates) Curiosity about a nursing home patient produces self-discovery, courage, and newfound joy.

Friday, Aug. 24th at 1:00PM:  High Society  (Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Grace Kelly, Louis Armstrong). True Love triumphs over boredom and novelty, greatly aided by glorious music and stellar acting.

Remember, an optional lunch will be available each day and tickets are $6.50 per person, per meal.*
