In January, we met for a luncheon at the Parkshore Senior Campus. Our speaker was Nkiruka Okafor, a AAUW International Fellow currently studying at Luther Seminary. She spoke about her research related to transforming the voice of women sex workers in Africa.
In February, we met at Ridgepointe for lunch. Our speaker was Dr. Ellen Kennedy, Executive Director of World Without Genocide. She gave us a thorough overview of how food shortages lead to violence in countries, and that can lead to genocide and other major social problems.
In March, we returned to our evening meeting schedule and reconvened at the Minnetonka Community Center. Vickie Nordquist presented the program about the concepts behind Advanced Higher Brain Living. This program helps people increase oxygen to the pre-frontal cortex of the brain, which helps them to think more calmly and clearly, and eventually focus on and resolve various problems and issues in their lives.
