Educational Opportunities,
Entertainment and Special Events

 

 

Educational Opportunities


  • Computer classes are offered for residents who are interested in learning more about computer setup, software, the internet, e-mail, programs or games. The popular Thursday morning session is led by our Information Services Coordinator Jim Semenas and participants come for the fellowship and fun as well as for the new skills they are learning!
  • Learning in Retirement, sponsored by the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, is available to Evergreen residents at no cost.  Several sessions each semester are held right here at Evergreen.
  • The Evergreen Writers meet monthly to share their love of writing and to learn from one another. Stories, articles, poetry, and letters read aloud are followed by a critique of strengths and weaknesses and suggestions for improvement. Pieces are submitted to the Evergreen Green Leaves newsletter, local newspapers, and magazines for publication consideration.
  • Presentations that relate to health, safety, and other educational topics are offered on a regular basis.

Fine Entertainment


  • Supper with the Chef is one of the most popular evenings. The culinary skills of Evergreen chefs are mirrored and projected for all to see. Residents, families and friends enjoy viewing the demonstration and of course the fine meal that is prepared!
  • Music in the Garden is held weekly during the summer in the beauty of our own outdoor Garden Grove.
  • Grand Afternoons offer entertainment on the grand piano in the Fireside Lounge.
