Grey Hair, Bright Minds

It's 2:59 p.m. on a grim and frigid Monday in February, but the Faith United Methodist Church's parking lot in South Burlington is jammed with cars jockeying for position. Inside the cafeteria auditorium, a standing-room-only crowd is waiting for author Howard Coffin to deliver a lecture about the Civil War.

Endowment Policy As Coffin regales the audience with anecdotes about Lincoln and military bon mots ("General George McClellan was one of the great whiners in American history," he said), the quality of attention in the room is striking. When Coffin finishes speaking, the audience is still applauding when the first two hands spring up with questions.

Selling Endowment The discussion, sponsored by the independent South Burlington group Elder Education Enrichment with an assist from UVM, is a manifestation of a little-noticed trend exploding demand for rigorous, lifetime learning as the 76 million baby boomers age.

The proportion of grey hair which has regained it's original colouration reaches 42% after 14 days and 82.3% after 28 days treatment.

Endowment Mis Selling It's a movement that Continuing Education, with support from a recent $100,000 grant from the San Francisco Bay Area-based Bernard Osher Foundation, is hoping to spread throughout Vermont. Debbie Worthley, who helps run CE's statewide programs, is commuting regularly from Burlington to Rutland as she lays the groundwork for Vermont's first Osher Lifelong Learning Center.

Selling Endowment Policy "The enthusiasm was 100 percent," Worthley says, describing a meeting last week with 25 Rutland residents to lay the groundwork for the new center. "They said that the area really needs something like this, there's just not enough challenging resources for older people."

This one is a bit more adventurous but adds a bright POP! of color to hair, perfect for experimenting with this year' revival.

Twisting both your hair and the tights, twist each section and pin securely.

Endowment Fund Spanning the state
When the new institute begins next fall, Rutland senior citizens will plan and partake of lectures and workshops from writers and experts affiliated with UVM and local colleges. The subjects will run the liberal arts gamut, taking on everything from history to poetry. UVM is using the Osher grant to launch similar efforts in Springfield and St. Johnsbury, and the board of Chittenden County's well-established EEE, now independent, is considering a formal relationship with the university and the Osher Foundation.

Lilly Endowment But the need for lifelong learning opportunities, Worthley and others say, is even greater in less populated areas away from Burlington. Rutland resident and retiree Robert Perkins, who attended Worthley's first organizational meeting with his wife, is excited about the potential for a center in his area. Before returning to Vermont, Perkins and his wife lived in larger cities and college towns, and they miss the opportunities those places provided.

Endowment Mortgage Uk "We love Vermont, but we enjoy the intellectual stimulation of living in bigger cities," Perkins says. "It would be wonderful to have a center like this where you can meet people with similar interests and take on a wide variety of topics some that you know something about, some that you need to learn."

Endowment Plan Mortgage Worthley is hoping that 40 to 50 Rutland-area residents will share Perkins's enthusiasm and join the institute by paying a $45 per-semester fee for regular events. (The Osher grant will include scholarship funds for those who cannot afford the program. Seniors can also attend individual programs for a modest charge.) "If you don't get a response, you can't make this work," she says. "So far we're off to a good start."

Endowment Mortgage Complain Making a connection
The Osher Foundation and UVM began working together largely by chance. A colleague from the University of Maine, where the Oshers have endowed a statewide network of lifelong learning centers, called to gauge Worthley's interest in the program. Meetings followed, and eventually Worthley wrote a proposal to the foundation. That led to the first grant, which can be renewed twice, at which time the UVM program might be considered to receive an endowment from the foundation. The foundation gave six seed grants to universities to begin lifelong learning programs this year; Vermont's was the only one outside of California.

Sell Endowment The success of the Maine institutes, which have attracted more than 3,500 members in a rural state similar to Vermont, inspires Worthley. She also feels that demographics are on her side as she works to get a network of institutes going.

Endowment Mortgage "People are living longer, and staying mentally and physically active enhances your quality of life as you age," she says. "So people are seeking out ways to keep themselves engaged. Older people want to learn, but they don't want the burden of tests, papers and grading. This lets them do that. It's learning for the sake of learning."
