July 5 – IN THE NEWS AND ON YOUR MIND What concerns do you have? Why are some problems getting worse? Churches are being attacked. And what about the Supreme Court decisions? What do you think of the latest from Pope Francis? Come and talk about some of it. Penny Hendricks will open the program.
July 12 – THE FEMALE BRAIN Author and Psychiatrist Daniel Amen presented this topic and research on the Dr. Oz show. “How to unleash the power of the female brain.” Dr. Amen studied over 46,000 brain scans. The study offered new insights according to Dr. Amen into how the male and female brain work very differently. There are five strengths that make the female brain more powerful than the male brain. Penny Hendricks will present the program.
July 19 – EXPLORING ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, and WALES with Peter Landecker. Peter recently returned from a 19 day trip starting in London, heading through Wales, and ending in the Scottish Highlands.
