LifeLong Learning - San Marcos
Come Learn with Us!
Patty Margerison has part of LifeLong Learning since the beginning in 2014.
We will miss her as she moves to Michigan to be close to family.
Thank you, Marianne, for conceiving the idea of LifeLong Learning and bringing it to fruition.
Being on the initial Advisory Council was interesting and invigorating, and attending so many classes gave me a reason to get up and out on many days. I was impressed by the many experts you found to teach and by the interesting conversations generated at the sessions. I will miss all of this. And I will miss you – a role model of community enrichment! ~ Patty Margerison, April 2026

Are you interested in visiting the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library
on the University of Texas at Austin campus on Thursday, July 9?
The LBJ Library houses more than 45 million pages of historical documents as well as more than 650,000 photos, 12,000 hours of audio recordings, more than 2,000 oral history interviews, and 7,500 motion picture film and video recordings. Its permanent exhibits include replicas of the Oval and First Lady’s Offices, First Lady’s Gallery, and November 22, 1923.
Two temporary exhibits are open during our visit: What We Bring to the Table invites visitors to explore the stories that have shaped American life through one of its most familiar spaces: the kitchen table; and Austin Past & Present: Through the Lens of Jay Godwin pairs rare historic images from archives across the city with newly captured photographs of the same locations today.
LifeLong Learning would like to take a busload of us on Thursday, July 9, to explore this local gem. Our tentative schedule has us loading the coach at 8:45am and returning no later than 2:00pm.
We do not need a commitment at this time, but… please email lifelonglearningsm@gmail.com no later than Wednesday, May 13, if you are interested in joining us and include the names of those who might attend.
Your responses will allow us to determine if there is enough interest to make the cost reasonable. Based on the number of participants, we aim to keep the cost between $65-$90 per person.
