Lifetime Learning Center honors two exemplary ‘Seniors of the Year’
LBCC
Long Beach City College Lifetime Learning Center’s “Outstanding Senior of the Year” will be held in-person at the Grand on Tuesday, May 17. Skip Keesal and Sylvia Manheim will be honored for a lifetime of service. Skip’s generosity and involvement in the community is legendary in Long Beach, where he always finds time to help others. In 1991, the lawyers of Keesal, Young & Logan launched a foundation that has donated nearly $7 million to charities focused on education, children, medicine and the arts. In addition to supporting worthwhile charities and nonprofit organizations with monetary contributions, the firm’s lawyers also donate their time.
Sylvia Manheim helped establish a program for older adults called Senior University at California State University, Long Beach. It is now the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI). Sylvia is active in the National Council for Jewish Women and the ACLU. She has always been involved in programs and activities in peace, justice, equality and continuing education. Lifetime Learning is a nonprofit organization that offers programs to engage older adults mentally, physically and socially.
Individual tickets are available for $50 each, and there are tables and sponsorship opportunities still available. Email tbrunella@lbcc.edu or call (562) 938-3047.
