What is your view of Central Florida’s future? Is it overly-optimistic, like the title above, or do you have a more pessimistic view of what the future will hold? Central Florida is one of the fastest growing regions in the U.S. Its current population of 3.8 million residents and 60 million annual visitors is projected to exceed 6.5 million residents and over 90 million visitors by the year 2060. So the question is not whether Central Florida grows, but how Central Florida grows. Come to this course to learn what Central Florida leaders are doing today to plan for and implement ways to build a strong, vibrant economy and maintain a high quality of life. Shelley Lauten Shelley Lauten has a B.A. in English Education, University of Central Florida and M.A. in Student Personnel Administration, Western Michigan University.

Life as a Civil War Soldier - NEW Session #1 Wednesday, 1:15 - 2:30 p.m. Young men clamored to go to war in both the North and the South. They thought it would be a lark to defend their ideals.

We will look at Army life in camp and battle. Our current soldiers are well equipped, but this was not the case in the 1860s. This course will address what soldiers were issued and how each soldier had to supplement what he had in order to endure the harsh conditions.

Connie & Ken Gleason - The Story of the Quilt During the War Today’s US military is the best equipped in the world. However, that was not the case in the 1860s. Join educators and Civil War historians Ken and Connie Gleason for a presentation on the roles of women in the 1860s: aiding their husbands, sons, and brothers prepare for and survive four long years at war; and run the farms and businesses soldiers left behind, something the women seldom had the opportunity to do previously. Some consider this period the beginning of the women’s suffrage movement. The Gleasons will dress in full period costumes and share reproductions of quilts representative of this period.
