Thursday, November 21—My Go-To Place on Cyber Club: Frida Kahlo. Frida Kahlo’s artwork and likeness has become world renowned. In this pre-recorded lecture presented by One Day University, art historian Jane Oneail goes beyond Kahlo’s famous facial hair and penetrating stare. We’ll delve into her devastating trolley accident and its impact on her health, as well as her intensely passionate and tumultuous marriage to Diego Rivera.
Please note that there will be no program on Thursday, November 28, in observance of Thanksgiving Day.
Thursday, December 5—My Go-To Place on Cyber Club: Famous Christmas Songs by Jewish Composers with Kurt Loeffler. Join us for our annual lecture on Jewish composers who wrote Christmas favorites! Kurt Loeffler takes a close look at famous Jewish American composers including Irving Berlin, Mel Torme, and many others who were the first-generation children of turn of the century Jewish immigrants. We’ll discuss many of the popular holiday Christmas songs which have become classics for largely Christian audiences over the years.
Thursday, December 12—My Go-To Place on Cyber Club: Password Management. Join Tony LaPalio, Owner of Senior Tech Support, for a session on password management that will change the way you think about your digital security.

Don’t miss this opportunity to protect yourself and your online world!
Thursday, December 19—My Go-To Place on Cyber Club: Chicago, Christmas Movies & Class. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, and While You Were Sleeping sit amongst the most beloved American Christmas movies. Set in Chicago at Christmastime, these three Hollywood comedies have entertained audiences for decades. Join Kelli Marshall of Chicago Movie Tours as we discuss which characters make you laugh or cry and what their social classes have to do with your reaction.
Thursday, December 26—My Go-To Place on Cyber Club: Art that has Changed the World. A walk through a museum can be a journey through time. In this pre-recorded One Day University lecture, we’ll examine art from the Parthenon of ancient Greece to Diego Velázquez’s Las Meninas, focusing on works that are as much about the experience of the viewer as they are about the subjects they represent.
