The GTLLI (in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada)
offers lecture courses on a diverse range of topics.
Our intention is to stimulate the mind, intellect and soul
of our members. Learning, understanding and becoming more aware of the
world at large, of our communities and of ourselves is the primary goal of the
Georgian Triangle Lifelong Learning Institute.
FOUNDERS' LECTURE
EIGHTH FOUNDERS' LECTURE
Details for the next Founders' Lecture have not yet been determined.
FOUNDERS' LECTURE BACKGROUND:
After months of complaining about the lack of interesting educational
opportunities in the Georgian Triangle area, a group of seniors sitting
around a picnic table made a breakthrough decision. One of them finally
stood up and said
“Enough talk. Let’s do it. Here’s my $50.” He threw a
bill on the table and “challenged” the others to join him. They did, and
a total of 37 families donated $50 each as seed money to get this new
educational thrust started in our community. That was in 1995 and
that $1850 has paid rich dividends.
That was the beginning of GTLLI. None of those founding families have received any
financial return; they’ve received much more than that – the satisfaction
of starting something of value to themselves and many others like them. Annual
membership in GTLLI now exceeds 400.
In 2004, GTLLI thought it was time to recognize its Founders (see below) by
establishing a Founders' Lecture. Periodically, an exceptional speaker is to
be invited to give an evening Founders' Lecture to members of GTLLI and the
public at large. On April 6, 2004 Stephen Lewis delivered our Inaugural
Founders' Lecture to a Sold-Out crowd at the Gayety Theatre.
