For adults age 50 and "better"
SUMMER PROGRAM
MAY 2 – SEPTEMBER 2, 2016
What We Are
The Lifelong Learning Institute in Chesterfield is a member-supported organization designed to meet the educational
and social enrichment needs of adults age 50 and “better”. The Institute is a learning community of peers who are
committed to ongoing education and their own intellectual development. Members want to stay current, are curious
about the world of ideas and are involved with their own learning. The Institute develops and offers daytime
courses, lectures and special events on a wide range of topics. There are no exams, no credits and no college
degrees required. The program consists of spring, summer and fall terms. Professors and other course leaders, who
work without compensation, are well known, informed and experienced professionals who enjoy sharing their
knowledge and expertise.
Who We Are

sponsors: the Virginia Center on Aging at Virginia Commonwealth University, Chesterfield County Public Schools
and Chesterfield County. LLI Chesterfield is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that is committed to equitable

Membership
Membership is required in order to register for courses. The annual membership fee of $150 per person allows
individuals to participate in all of the courses, lectures and planned social events available during their 12 months of
membership. Attached you will find a membership application. Checks should be made payable to the Lifelong Learning
Institute. You may also pay online with a service fee. The Institute also has a limited number of scholarships available to
those with a financial need. Scholarships are distributed on a first-come, first-served need basis. Please contact the
office at 804-378-2527 for details. The Lifelong Learning Institute reserves the right to refuse or revoke a membership.
See below for our Referral Program to help save on your renewal fee!
Referral Program
We offer a member referral program. If you are an existing member and refer someone to LLI Chesterfield, you become
eligible for a discount on your next renewal fee. The individual must be a new member and must list you on the
application form as the referring member. When they have completed 10 weeks of membership, a ten dollar ($10)
discount will be applied to your next membership renewal fee. You can refer and get credit for as many new members as
you would like, up to the total of your membership fee! Only one member can receive the credit for each new member.
Name Badges
When you sign up as a member, a name badge will be made for you. The badge is stored on a hook outside of the
office. We request that you wear your name badge to all classes and special events. It is useful for meeting new
friends, as well as helping us recognize when non-members are visiting. You may choose to add a card to the
holder behind the nametag indicating pertinent health information to be used in the event of an emergency.
Guests
LLI classes and activities are intended for LLI members. A member’s guest from out of town may attend a class or an
activity as long as attendance is not limited. Local residents who are interested in joining are limited to one guest
visit per year. The office must be informed prior to any guest attending. Guest name badges will be available,
and to ensure fairness and facilitate administration of this policy, name badges must be worn by guests to all
classes and activities. Please pre‐register your guest and check in with the office upon arrival.
Physical Needs
The Lifelong Learning Institute is accessible to persons with disabilities and we will try to accommodate special
physical needs. Please contact the office (804-378-2527) if you have special needs.
Bad Weather
When Chesterfield County Schools are closed because of weather conditions, LLI classes will be cancelled for the
day. When Chesterfield County Schools have a delay, LLI classes will begin at 10:00AM, and any classes scheduled to
begin before 10:00AM will be cancelled. Class cancellation information will be available on the website by 8:00AM.
Location of Classes
All classes (unless otherwise noted) are held at 13801 Westfield Road, Midlothian, in front of Watkins Annex Park,
cooperatively utilizing the school building with Connections Academy. The building is located behind Sycamore
Square Shopping Center.
Parking
Parking is available in the school's paved lot, adjacent to the building. First Baptist Church generously allows LLI
members to utilize their parking lot. We request if you are able to park across the street and walk safely across
Westfield Road that you park in the church's parking lot. Please leave the row closest to the church open and do not
park on the grassy area, since it is not zoned for parking at this time. Thank you for your cooperation!
Registration
You may register online at www.llichesterfield.org or mail the attached registration form to Lifelong Learning
Institute, P. O. Box 1090, Midlothian, VA 23113, or drop it off at the Institute at 13801 Westfield Road, Midlothian.
You are urged to attend all courses and activities for which you enroll. Good attendance is important in getting
future instructors and speakers, who receive no fees or honoraria. Non-attendance also results in under-utilized
classroom space and often prevents others from participating. If a member wishes to attend a class or course for
which he or she is not registered, he or she should call or stop by the office to determine if space is available.
Class Confirmations will be e-mailed after Open Registration and on-going whenever a member registers for or
withdraws from a class. If a member does not have e-mail, a copy will be available in the office.
Registration for the Summer Session will be available online on April 15, 2016. Open Registration will take place
on site Monday, April 18th - Wednesday, April 20th (9:00AM - 3:00PM each day). Any classes that have more
registrations received than available spaces during the open registration period will use a lottery system to
determine registration. After close of Open Registration, registrations will revert to a first come, first served basis.
If your registration is received during Open Registration for a repeat course for which you remained on a waiting
list (and were not offered the chance to participate in the course), you will be given a place in that same course
before the lottery begins. All registrations received (online, in person or via US mail) follow the
Open Registration procedure. All class fees are due at time of registration.
Registrations cannot be processed if any fees are outstanding.
Trips
Guests are welcome on LLI Trips if space is available. LLI Members will have priority through Open Registration.
All payments MUST be received no less than 40 days prior to the trip (unless otherwise noted) and your seat will only
be reserved upon receipt of payment. We are sorry, but we are unable to provide refunds after 30 days prior to the
trips and the request must be made in writing.

Instructor(s): Beverly Perdue
This class is for anyone with intermediate to advanced experience using water media, including the use of acrylic on paper.
Assistance with yupo paper will also be available. It will consist of two days of working on paintings the student brings to
class. These would be works in progress with suggestions as to where the artist wants to take the painting or brand new
pieces that the artist wants to start. Students can bring a new piece, bring in paintings they are struggling with or a painting
they feel is completed (no framed pieces). You MUST bring in the reference from which the image originated from. All
reference material needs to have a black and white image of it and at least 4 x 6 inches. There will be individual critiques
given and suggestions as to where to go with one's own art voice. This is more of an opportunity to find one's own path.
There will be demonstrations done regarding different approaches, but it is important to paint what you choose to paint.
This is not a "paint my demo" class. The second day will be a follow-up along the same line with some demonstration when
needed. Please bring a working mat to put on your work when we discuss it. There will be an hour for lunch, so best to
bring lunch with you, if possible, to keep that creative bubble going. Any questions can be addressed to Bev at

This is a six-week introduction to a fun dance native to Brazil. Those that grow up in the country learn it from a very early
age because it is done when groups of Brazilians have anything to celebrate, like, but not restricted to, weddings. It is very
important that participants not miss the first two weeks. Please, no footwear (like flip-flops) that can slide off easily. Also,
in order to lessen fatigue as well as the likelihood of a foot or ankle stress fracture, footwear should be smooth (well worn)
on the sole in the area of the ball of the foot. Students should be prepared to begin each class promptly at 11AM. Please
note, students must pre-arrange a partner for this class in order to register and participate. Sign up for this dance class and

tai chi principles and provide a framework for a range of movements. You are invited to breathe, learn, and play as you
create your journey through tai chi. Note: For those folks that have difficulty standing for any length of time (or at all), tai

Pilates helps to condition the body, build flexibility, muscle strength and endurance in the legs, tummy, arms and back. It
emphasizes correct spinal alignment and breathing as well as tones the core, or deep abdominal muscles of the torso.
Exercises isolate muscle groups through repetition and sustained movement, but it is not highly aerobic. Pilates will get
your heart pumping as it develops strength and coordination through isometric flexing and extending of legs and arms
while maintaining a tightened abdomen. If you are looking for overall tone, looking to tighten your tummy, consider this
introduction to Basic Pilates. Come ready for a moderate to occasionally intense exercise conducted primarily on the floor.
Come ready to breathe heavily, feel your muscles, and maybe even sweat!

Tai Chi for Intermediates
Friday

Tai Chi can be many things. It is a walking meditation; a means of understanding the range and limits of the body; an
activity for the improvement of balance, mental focus, and breathing; a stress reducer; and, a beautiful art form. In
essence, it is the energetic expression of the mind’s intent through the body. Sessions will explore all of these aspects,
encouraging you to find your own path through “playing” tai chi. The Yang-style Simplified 24-Form will be used to explore
tai chi principles and provide a framework for a range of movements. You are invited to breathe, learn, and play as you
create your journey through tai chi. Note: For those folks that have difficulty standing for any length of time (or at all), tai
chi can be done seated in a chair. Regular attendance at previous session's classes is highly recommended before

All ancient myths have a message. Often the message is deeply buried within the text of the myth or is obscure within the

They codify all sorts of information about their values, moral framework, and belief systems, as well as examples of how
people should deal with situations that might arise in human life. The heroic myths look deep into the heart of what it
means to be human and into questions of life, death, and the meaning of mortality. Recommended readings include: The
Theogony by Hesiod; Homeric Hymns by Homer; The Iliad by Homer; The Odyssey by Homer; The Aeneid by Virgil;

10:00-11:00
Instructor(s): Charles Barron and Eileen Khan
No previous Arabic language training is needed for success in this class. Instruction will begin with the very basics of reading
and writing Arabic Script. The primary difference in this class and previous LLI Arabic classes will be an increased focus on
Arabic letters, words, and phonetics, with minimal time spent in learning Arabic vocabulary words and phrases. This
method of instruction will be used in order to speed up and simplify the script learning process. More specifically, in-class
assignments will be prepared and completed using only English words. A large portion of Arabic speakers agree that a
slower paced and deliberate approach to learning the Arabic Script is fundamental to becoming a fluent Arabic student.
Instructors will provide a recommended list of short YouTube internet lessons for any students wanting to review and
reinforce what they learn in the classroom. Paper copies of classroom handouts will be provided for each class, but
students will need a pencil with eraser and a pen. A small ruler may also be helpful for line-drawing during handwriting
exercises.

LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE
RELEASE FROM LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK,
AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
I understand that while participating in a physical fitness activity or other function related to or associated with
the programs (collectively, the “Programs”) conducted or sponsored by Lifelong Learning Institute, a non-profit
corporation, (the “Institute”), I may sustain an injury to any part of my body.
1)
Voluntary Participation. I understand that my participation in the Programs is voluntary. I represent
to the Institute that I am physically capable of participating in the Programs and I have no known health restrictions
that might jeopardize my safety or health or the safety or health of others during my participation in the Programs.
2)
Identification of Risk. I understand that my participation in the Programs may involve risk of injury or
loss, both to person and to property. I understand that this release of liability and waiver is intended to address all of
the risks of any kind associated with my participation in any aspect of the Programs, including such risks that may be
created by action, inaction, or negligence on the part of the Institute, its officers, directors, employees, agents,
volunteers, successors or assigns (collectively, the “Representatives”). There may be risks not known and not
reasonably foreseeable at this time. Failure of the Institute to foresee or protect me from actions, inactions, negligence,
recklessness, or intentional or criminal misconduct of others, or the inadequacy or unavailability of medical facilities
or treatment, or the inadequacy of supervision by the Institute will not create any liability on the part of the Institute or
its Representatives.
3)
