MindQuest
To Seek, To Learn, To Inspire
MindQuest envisions a group of learners actively engaged in intellectually stimulating lectures and discussions that improve the quality of life in the Foothills.
MindQuest has reinvented itself for 2010 by adding a fourth lecture and collaborating with Paradise Valley Community College and FCF- Partners in Education to make every MindQuest event a greater opportunity for all ages to seek, question, learn and to be inspired.
