It's On My List

Thursday, May 17 at 7:00 p.m.

 

Walter Choroszewski realized that there were still many places to see and things to do in his lifetime. Even before the popular movie 'The Bucket List,' he was actively pursuing his list—trying to visit 50 states, see as many National Parks as possible, and of course ...learn to surf! It’s on my List! is an inspirational program with stories and photos about a Golden Boomer's pursuit of his life passions.
