Public commenter asks La Habra to back lifelong-learning classes for residents 50 and older
Summary
A Learning Institute representative asked the council to help recruit and support residents 50+ for free or low-cost lifelong-learning classes, saying the program offers more than 100 courses including arts and a "transitions in retirement" series.
A representative of the Learning Institute told the La Habra City Council that the organization seeks the city’s help in reaching residents 50 and older who would sign up for lifelong-learning classes. "I am here this evening that I ask for your assistance in getting more adults 50 who love lifelong learning and help support," the speaker said, and invited council members and residents to review brochures about the program.
The speaker described more than 100 course offerings — “everything that anybody can imagine, from motifs to art to watercolor to ceramic” — and highlighted a "transitions in retirement" series usually held on Saturdays. The comment asked the city to assist with outreach and support but did not specify funding requests, timelines, or a proposed staff assignment. No council action or vote on the request was recorded in the provided segments.
