As well as Galloway Ridge's impressive library, now larger than ever with more volumes and resources, there are seminars, artistic workshops and volunteer activities to keep you in the mainstream. Or you can attend on-site classes from Osher Duke University Lifelong Learning Institute and The University of North Carolina Humanities Program.

Best of all, you are surrounded by interesting, well-traveled people who, just like you, want to stay as informed and engaged as ever. In a community filled with so many planners and doers, it's not hard to strike up a stimulating conversation!
