They conduct their own classes, invite guest speakers, discuss current events, read books and plays, and keep their minds active. ENCORE Learn members may also use the CCC Library, including its interlibrary loan privileges and computers. Anyone interested in the ENCORE Learn experience may enjoy two class sessions at no cost or obligation. Those ready to join will pay an annual membership fee of just $50 to have access to all classes offered by ENCORE Learn!
