SUMMARY:Age Well: This Year Will Be Different — How to Stick to Your Resolutions
DESCRIPTION:This is a live\, virtual talk by Road Scholar that we will be streaming live at Iona Senior Services. You will not be pictured on screen during the lecture\, but you will have the opportunity to ask the instructor live questions using the Q&A box.  \nWhy do 64% of people abandon their New Year’s resolutions in the first month? In this lecture\, author Dr. Catherine Sanderson\, a leading expert in positive psychology\, will examine tools we can use to set and work towards goals. This lecture is for you if you would like to get instruction on SMART goals (specific\, measurable\, attainable\, relevant and time-bound goals) and learn why SMART goal setting pays off\, how setting goals rewires the brain and\, most importantly\, how to actually stick with your New Year’s resolutions. The session will be 1-2 hours. \n

SUMMARY:Walking Tour with Jane: A Visit to Glenstone (TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED)
DESCRIPTION:A Visit to Glenstone (TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED) \nBus Leaving at 11:15am from Iona Senior Services – 4125 Albemarle St. NW  \nPlease join us for a group bus ride and visit to Glenstone\, the private museum and rolling\, art-filled grounds in Potomac\, MD.  It is the project of Emily and Mitchell Rales.  As stated on their website: \n“At the core of the museum is a collection of post-World War II art\, a very personal project driven by the pursuit of iconic works that have changed the way we think about the art of our time.” \nWeather permitting\, we will begin our visit by walking the grounds\, where art meets nature\, visiting works by Jeff Koons\, Richard Serra and Tony Smith among others.  Time permitting\, you may explore the galleries in the beautiful pavilions on your own. \nBecause much of our visit will be walking outside on gravel paths\, good shoes\, a hat and water bottle are recommended. Also\, you may bring a snack\, but picnicking is not allowed.  \nEnd:  We will return to the bus at 2pm and end at Iona at approximately 2:45pm. \n
