Come join us!

For 36 years, senior residents of Wellesley, Weston, Newton, Needham and other communities have looked forward to Monday mornings.

Around 300 of us meet each week for intellectual stimulation, vigorous discussion, amusement, and good fellowship.

This is your opportunity to catch up on subjects that you always wanted to pursue during the busy times when you were earning a living and raising a family.

Our classes cover a wide range of subjects, from politics to art, history, literature, religion, science and languages. There are sure to be subjects you will enjoy.

Unfortunately, after many years of huge popularity, Jerome Grossman will not return. We thank him for his years of enlightened thoughts and wish him the best of health.

Also unfortunately, we have to increase the fee for a second class to $20.

In Memoriam

We regret to announce the recent passing of the gracious Frances M. Dalton, who served for over 15 years in dual roles as the Secretary and refreshments co-ordinator of WWLL. She was the last link to the founders of WWLL. The annual appreciation luncheon for the WWLL teachers has been named in her honor. Our best wishes to her sons and their families.
