Geopolitical Roundtable: A Closer Look at Significant Issues and Events in Geopolitics Today
MG (Ret) Bruce Zukauskas will lead and facilitate a roundtable discussion on significant geopolitical issues and events occurring in today's complex world. The objective is to provide a forum for a better understanding of world events and also provide a means to discuss and learn about different viewpoints on world affairs. General Zukauskas will select his “Top 3 Issues or Events of the Day” prior to each session in order to help stimulate the discussion. For example, the “Top 3 Issues” for a session might be: the West’s continued support for the War in Ukraine, Israel and Hamas, or Iran’s next move in the Middle East. He will begin each session with a short background presentation for a better understanding of the topics. A roundtable discussion, facilitated by General Zukauskas, will follow for questions, comments, and discussion on the selected topics or other noteworthy geopolitical topics of interest by the group.**All proceeds benefit the Prescott Community Center.**Here is what they are saying about Bruce's Geopolitical Roundtable: "The up to date details of the current world situation with time to comment and wonder!" "It’s very satisfying with well organized information and great discussion. Thanks to Bruce for offering this program throughout the year. Looking forward to the next session." "Kathy and I might be called "groupies" of this class. It is very topical, carefully researched, prepared and presented. Bruce always strongly encourages group input and discussion. We always look forward to this session and it is clear from the number of "regulars" that his work is appreciated in these troubling times." "Bruce is amazing. Every class is so well prepared. The tidbits he adds - the quotes from philosophers, even the good news section that he added on request of a class member. Bravo!" "I love the clear, thoughtful analysis and the the terrific graphics. I love a good graphic! I always come away knowing more about the world and the latest news. And despite the frequent bad news, knowledge keeps us strong and gives us hope. The format is perfect." "I have attended a number of the General's Roundtables and have always come away with a 360 degree, 30,000 ft view of world affairs. I have never felt a political bias or intent to convince in his presentations. Just a clear outlining of the facts that he has collected and his unique perspective as a retired general. I also enjoy the conversations that it stirs in the participants. Highly recommend this series!""A diverse array of relevant topics is addressed, with Organizer presenting thought-provoking content.""He is always prepared, well informed, invites comments and questions." "Bruce is extremely prepared and a great presenter. There were many diverse political opinions in the class, but Bruce navigated the discussion perfectly without engaging in partisan politics. He presented the material with a historical perspective as it related to Russia which was something you don't hear on the news." "It's a great class. Everyone is friendly and the format is great for an open discussion while being a curated experience."

Summer Art Voyage
Painting
Join us this Summer as we travel through the ocean of creativity using a variety of materials and subjects. Dip a stick into black walnut ink and draw what you see across the table. Paint on your charcoal drawing with oil paint, and draw on your watercolor painting with pastels. We’ll use graphite, charcoal, watercolor, pastels, oil paint, a combination of these, and more. Composition, perspective, color harmony, brush stroke, and inspiration are the stars that will guide us. This class is about experimentation! This program is for anyone who wants to learn and explore different media. It's the program for all levels, from beginner to advanced. The instructor will provide the class materials. Here is what they are saying about Heather's Art Classes: "The instructor is talented and lovely." "Heather is a great and experienced teacher. Through her gentle manner, she guides students with step-by-step instructions, shows them how the lights, architecture, and colors are integrated into the painting, and encourages them to explore and expand new ideas. As a beginner at pastel and oil painting, I feel free to learn and explore in every class. She is the reason that my painting has improved so much. She inspires me!" "Loved Heathers class, she has a great demeanor not intimidating, have her do more night ones for those of us working during the day."

Oil Painting for All Levels
Painting
In the classroom, we alternate working from life and from your favorite photographs. We will explore composition, underpainting, perspectives, color mixing, color harmony, and paint application. The instructor will provide a demonstration at the beginning of every class and instruction throughout. This class emphasizes creativity, exploration, and experimentation rather than technique. While composition, color mixing, perspective, and mark-making will all be considered, learning technique is a by-product of the joyful creation of art. All participants will enjoy the freedom of experimenting with mixed media and surfaces and approaching the edge of abstraction in a friendly, supportive environment. This class is for all levels, including beginners. Student is required to bring materials. A list will be sent upon registration.
