CUBA

Join us at the Neenah Public Library for an adult afternoon presentation given by Kim Beck, the Executive Director at Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, on the topic of Cuba on Monday, March 5th at 2:00 p.m. in the Shattuck Community Room.
Just 90 miles from the coast of Florida, the tense bilateral relationship between the U.S. and Cuba has kept many Americans from visiting the island over the last five decades. Recently, with restrictions relaxed, Americans have begun to experience Cuba for the first time. Upon arrival, visitors will find great contrasts. While many parts of Cuban life are economically depressed and politically repressed, there is still much to appreciate in the country’s commitment to education, health and the social sciences. But Cuba is more than politics. Visitors will be captivated by lively music, beautiful art, historic architecture, exceptional cuisine and classic cars. Join Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UWM Executive Director, Kim Beck, as he offers his insights from two recent trips to Cuba.
Everyone is welcome. If accommodations are needed to attend, please contact the library before the event. For more information, please visit our website, www.neenahlibrary.org or contact the Adult Services desk by phone: 920-886-6315 or by email: [email protected].
