 Is sailing across the Drake Passage really not for the faint of heart?  Do penguin colonies really smell worse than just about anything else on Earth?  Is it possible to sail for three hours alongside the largest iceberg in the world and not see it?  

For the answer to these and many other questions about travel to the extreme south, join Jeff Milsteen for a photographic journey to Antarctica, South Georgia Island and the Falkland Islands!

In this, our second such relaxed 90-minute session we will explore puzzles seated together at tables. A new assortment of classic and modern hands-on activities will be available, using paper, cardboard, wood, rope, metal, and plastic. Come and sharpen your brain for a while, alone or with a pal. Challenge yourself to think outside (as well as inside) the box. There will be something for everyone to enjoy, and much of the material can be shared later with family and friends. 

Women artists who were not widely recognized in their time are now being rediscovered. Some, like Emily Mason, Sonia Delaunay, and Paula Modersohn-Becker, were known within art circles through their connections, but many were long overlooked. This program explores why and how they later became celebrated figures in art history. 

Learn how to protect yourself from scams and fraud in this informative session. We’ll cover common scams, key warning signs, and how to identify suspicious emails, calls, and texts.

Explore the fascinating nature of light and its role in our universe. This program looks at why nothing can travel faster than light, how our understanding of it has evolved, and its unique behavior as both a wave and a particle. Learn how light creates color, carries energy, and supports life on Earth, while also exploring new discoveries and the future of light in science and technology. 

What do you know about your eight great grandparents?  Were any of them born in Ireland?   Do you have Irish ancestors going further back?  Half of the men who have served as US presidents did. 

Having an Irish grandparent may entitle you to an Irish passport, which in turn opens up most of Europe to you in a new way.

With more and more genealogical records being available online, much of them free to search, it’s easy to start exploring your family tree.  Once you go back a century, it gets particularly interesting: you could easily have 100 second cousins (people two generations down from your grandparents’ siblings), and there is a good chance that some of them have already constructed their family tree and shared it online.

From birth, marriage and death records, church records, the Social Securiy Death Index, cemetery records, census records, migraton records, and naturalization records, to military records, newspaper archives, high school year books, and prison records, there is no telling where you will find traces of family members who came before us.  Such records could be Irish, British, American, or Canadian.

April 2026 is a particularly good time to explore, as the 1926 census for the Republic of Ireland will be made freely available.  

This presentation will introduce participants the basics of starting research on Irish genealogy, and discuss the major free and fee-based resources available online and in Irish institutions.
