LW Humanists

The Leisure World Humanists will meet Sunday, Jan. 7, at 10:30 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 1.

Club President Dave Silva will give a Powerpoint presentation on the history and future of retirement. Silva has been president of the Leisure World Democratic Club and ran for State Assembly in this district in 2004. He also served on the executive board of the Orange County Democratic Party.

Retirement is a fairly recent concept in human history.

Silva will describe how retirement has evolved and how it might change in the near future. In his book, “Searching For Utopia,” Silva described how various social movements have dealt with retirement, including Leisure World.

He will also explore how technology and politics might change both the nature of work and retirement.

All are welcome to attend. After the presentation, there will be time for questions and discussion.
