Our own Kate Campbell and Maggie Chipman are enthusiastic members of the New Generation Society of Lawrence (NGLS). NGLS serves retirees and active seniors with life long learning opportunities, social events and philanthropy. The organization is affiliated with Watkins Museum of History and the Hall Center for the Humanities. Each fall and spring twenty-five one hour programs are offered by local experts. Topics include local issues, the arts, KU, sports, architecture, humanities and history. Most programs are presented at Watkins Museum, with occasional day trips to points of interest. NGSL also hosts four dinner parties each year and is supported by a $50 dollar annual fee and a modest program attendance fee. NGLS awards annually 5,000 to 10,000 dollars toward local children’s services and education. Kate spoke about how NGLS helped her connect with the community when she moved to Lawrence.
