The Academy of Lifelong Learning at Shell Point welcomes Professor Adrian Kerr, who is presenting “The Story of Pakistan and Afghanistan” on Tuesday, March 18 and Tuesday, March 25 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in the Grand Cypress Room of The Woodlands at Shell Point Retirement Community.

Tickets for the class are $10. To purchase a ticket, please call (239) 489-8472.
