There are few things more invigorating, more inspirational, more exhilarating than sharing interests with like-minded people. Unless, of course, that shared interest involves learning. “These are people who just have always had a knack for learning new things and reading books,” said Diane Carroll, who’s been Quest for Learning Lancaster’s board president for eight years. “They’re maybe a little nerdish. For senior citizens, almost everything they can do to keep the brain active is a really important part of aging well. There’s also a business of meeting up with people, and their concern for each other. There’s a whole gamut of socializing that goes on.” Quest for Learning Lancaster is all about education and fellowship. Designed for but not limited to older adults, Quest for Learning Lancaster is gearing up for another series of informative classes at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 31 S. Duke St., Lancaster. The courses will offer four 50-minute classes - with time for questions and discussion at the end - on a variety of different topics at both 9:40 and 11 a.m. on six consecutive Thursdays, beginning Sept. 24. There are modest costs associated with registering for the Quest for Learning Lancaster classes. Overseen by a board of directors, Quest for Learning Lancaster,
