FARMINGTON — The Gold LEAF Institute Senior College at University of Maine Farmington is set to hold its Fall/Winter Kickoff on Wednesday, Oct. 11.
Fall/winter courses will be introduced from 3-4 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Parish Hall, 130 Quebec St. The program is free and open to the public.
Gold LEAF is a member-run organization based at the university. Open to community members aged 50 or older whose schedules have slowed down just enough for them to branch out, Gold LEAF provides opportunities to learn new things, become more active, and make new friends while finding time for old ones, according to a news release from Jane Haszko of the GLI Membership & Promotion Committee.
Gold LEAF membership allows access to classes offered by all 17 senior colleges throughout Maine at maineseniorcollege.org without an additional membership fee. GLI scholarships are available as well.
