LIR provides an opportunity to share a lifetime of experiences with fellow members in an open, warm, inviting atmosphere. LIR is affiliated with Elderhostel Inc., the organization which provides educational opportunities for thousands of older adults year-round in dozens of countries. For your retirement years to be vital and rewarding ones, it is helpful to participate in lifelong learning opportunities, and to have positive social interactions with your peers and others. Because your LIR membership brings you in contact with other retirement-age adults, your circle of friends can expand, rewarding you with new contacts, interesting conversations and the chance to share information and ideas. Planned social activities include a variety of events, with something scheduled nearly every month.
Membership is more than a privilege, it is a responsibility.
Being an involved LIR member is important for building membership, for providing input to assure a wide variety of interesting courses, and for working to achieve a smooth functioning organization. By serving on a LIR committee you can help develop the curriculum, wrestle with the finances, contribute to or write the newsletters, plan media campaigns, help maintain membership records, or plan social or travel events. Many members volunteer to participate in UGA faculty research studies - one of the ways we reciprocate the University of Georgia's sponsorship. We extend our offer of friendship and lifelong learning to you. Please consider LIR as you plan your retirement years.
