| Our Mission Our mission is to bring quality continuing education on topics of particular interest to the Washington County area through lectures, classes, and outstanding speakers. Lifetime Learning is sponsored by the Washington County Council.
Our History
For several years a small group of women in Brenham, dedicated to continuing education and lifetime learning, traveled weekly, sometimes even daily, to Houston to attend classes at The Women’s Institute of Houston and at Rice University-Continuing Studies. In 2001, anxious to have a program of continuing education in Washington County, they contacted by mail over 300 women to ascertain if there was widespread interest in the program. They were encouraged by the response they received and excited about the many subjects that people indicated they wanted to learn more about.
Over the past EIGHT years, Lifetime Learning has had a variety of speakers at luncheons, lecture series, and Sunday afternoon programs. Subjects have included the world-wide growth of fundamentalist religious groups, the history of the Texas revolution, the future of Social Security, appreciating opera, new developments in cardiology and health care, the plight of women in Afghanistan, and the appreciation of European art and history.
Volunteers work to recruit speakers, select menus, decorate tables for luncheons, and publicize all events.
We welcome your participation and suggestions.
