COMMUNITY Educational Opportunity ~ Civil Rights

Good Afternoon Maitland !

When was the last time you visited our Maitland Senior Center ? Have you ever ventured over to our Maitland Historial Museum ?

Plan an educational excursion now - learn more about our city while learning more about our world. Invite a neighbor, take a friend from out of town, share an outing with your grandchild or plan a homeschool field trip.

It's all here and waiting for us...right around the corner from home.

Your Neighbor,

Ann Lanier

Vilbert White from the University of Central Florida public history department will lead the discussion at the Maitland Senior Center, 345 S. Maitland Ave.

The Cold War exhibit can be seen at Maitland Historical Museum, 221 W. Packwood Ave. from noon to 4 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
