We welcome the return of Carol Zimmerman to our modest “stage” for a morning of original songs and music, and even a few holiday tunes.
Along with her own originals, Carol sings pop songs from eras past to present hits of today. She has done music for films, children’s videos, company promos, jingles, churches, schools, and she is a regular performer/speaker for MOPS Intl. Carol can be found several times a week playing and singing with horn-player extraordinaire Jeff Carver at the "School of the Wise II" bistro in Chanhassen.
Join us as LFUU member Dan Larson will lead the program and dive further into our monthly them of abundance by looking at what that means in a wider, global perspective. We’ll be watching a 15 minute TED talk by Peter Diamandis that discusses the abundance of environmental and technological resources we are surrounded by and what we are doing to make it a better world to live in. In addition, we’ll also dig into some of the negative aspects of abundance at a societal and personal level.
December's monthly program theme is abundance. Coming out of November / Thanksgiving and into December and the Christmas season, abundance is a topic on many minds. Others may take it for granted and perhaps don’t or rarely think about it. Do we have too much? How has abundance shaped our personalities and view of the world? LFUU member Dan Larson will be presenting and exploring ideas and questions around abundance.
