You can also use the Zoom features whiteboard\, chat\, and reactions. However\, Zoom polling and breakouts will not be available for you to use during your practice lesson.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Navigating the Third Act: Retiring with Confidence and Purpose
DESCRIPTION:Retirement today is less a finish line than a transition into a “third act” of life and work. This webinar explores how to step away from a primary career with confidence\, identity clarity\, and a sense of purpose. We will discuss common emotional and practical challenges — including shifting routines\, relationships\, and meaning — and strategies for designing what comes next.\n\nTogether\, we will:\nIdentify key nonfinancial questions to answer before retiring: purpose\, structure\, community\, health\, and identity.\nAssess readiness for change and anticipate common transition pitfalls.\nCreate a simple “third act” plan with near-term experiments: volunteering\, part-time work\, learning\, caregiving\, and entrepreneurship.\nDevelop language to communicate your transition goals with family\, colleagues\, and mentors.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Up\, Up\, And Away: A History of Ballooning in America
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit examines the history of balloon flight in the United States from Blanchard’s first ascension to the early twentieth century. In the age of bird’s-eye views\, which imagined a perspective on American cities and towns from high in the air\, balloonists were the only people who actually had the opportunity to see what the growing nation looked like from above. As the nineteenth century progressed\, ballooning became a lucrative (if dangerous) business\, as crowds gathered to watch balloons launch\, and to see aeronauts risk their lives high in the air. Over time\, the image of the hot air balloon proliferated in American print culture\, being used to sell goods ranging from thread to canned beef. We hope that this exhibit conveys some of the thrill that would have come from seeing people fly for the first time.\n\nOn view May 22-August 28\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.
