WELCOME TO CONTINUING EDUCATION! This catalog is a fun one to put together because it runs from January through April. January is always so cold, but April (to me) brings hope that spring is around the corner. Once classes start, each class becomes a milestone toward reaching spring.

Putting milestones in your calendar is a good way to make the long winter pass for yourself, too. Make a goal to finish that book, sign up for Genealogy in March or attend the February OLLI movie (The Forgiven). These all are great ways to have something to look forward to. They say you can’t write your autobiography in advance, but you can shape the pages into how you want it to read.

As the days get shorter and colder, we hope that you will sign up for a class or become an OLLI member.

Create some milestones to pass the cold months and learn something new along the way. The staff here at Continuing Education is looking forward to creating some memories with you this winter!

Finding my Roots: A Journey to the Home Country

Attendees will learn about the humble beginnings of our local public library and the people who contributed to and guided its development from the pioneer reading room era to the institution we know today.

This class will retrace the journey of the instructor’s grandfather, Josef Holkup, from the Czech Republic to North Dakota, a journey like the one many of your ancestors made. We will show pictures that will help explain who they were and where they came and the lure of owning land. We will touch on the harsh realities of homesteading in North Dakota. In 2011, the instructor visited the Czech Republic meeting many relatives, traveling as “a local rather than as a tourist.” He saw the farmstead where his grandfather was born and a church nearly 1,000 years old that the family attended for hundreds of years. This presentation will use lecture, pictures and group discussion to help tell the story of our immigrant ancestors.
