Just over a month ago, we had the privilege of celebrating the harmony of community and creativity at our Spring 2026 Chorus Concert, where our incredibly talented OLLI Chorus and The Hot Cookies ukulele ensemble left us in awe with their breathtakingly beautiful voices and melodies that filled the air! It was a great concert that showcased the immense talent and dedication of our students. We can't wait to do it all again at our next concert!

Looking back at some great Donovan Forums from the Spring. For this round of community lectures, we had topics such as Alzheimer's awareness, horse jockeys, urban planning, the Jack Jouett House in Versailles, Berea College, and many more!

Our Donovan Forum committee has been hard at work developing the next round of great community lectures to take place at the Lexington Senior Center this Fall. Be on the lookout for an announcement this July!

Thanks to everyone that joined us at Clerestory for our Spring Luncheon! Over 100 members got to get together at a scenic space, enjoy great food from Seasons Catering, enjoy a wonderful variety of music from The Lex Quartet, and celebrate one of our largest semesters yet. Cheers to our excellent community of lifelong learners, and we hope to see some of you this Summer!
