Denise Benjamin

Denise Benjamin was born and raised in Illinois. She moved to Massachusetts to pursue graduate studies at Boston College. After completing her studies she taught French and Spanish at the secondary level for 31 years and served as the Department Head of Foreign Languages for the Sandwich School District.

It was her love of foreign languages that connected Denise to ALL. After retiring from

public school teaching, she served as an adjunct professor at Cape Cod Community College. In that capacity, she came to know Laurie Bauer who served as a Dean at the college and also coordinated a "Conversational French" course for ALL.

Denise considers herself a lifelong learner, and considers travel one of the best ways to expand your horizons. She is excited about joining the board and looks forward to working with the ALL Curriculum Committee to expand course offerings. 

In that role she was one of the creators, and then Director, of the school and community based "Berlin Upbeat" leadership training program. As "Berlin Upbeat" Director, she coordinated adult and student leadership training, community service projects and community events, including a town picnic.

In 2019, Alice moved full time to the family home in South Yarmouth. She learned about ALL from a salesclerk when she was newly arrived and shopping at Macy’s.

Since 2020 she has taken a variety of classes and has served as an ALL volunteer. She is a lifelong learner and enjoys being a part of the ALL community and registering for new courses. Alice looks forward to working with the ALL Board of Directors as an opportunity to give back to an organization that has given her so much.

Broadcast Team Leader

On June 12, 2023, the Cape Cod Ladies Charity Group held a fund raiser for the Academy of Lifelong Learning at the Yarmouth home of Board of Directors member Joan Freedman.

ALL President Dianne Tattersall spoke to the group of the Academy’s mission, our curriculum, events, Reflections, and social activities.

Members Jean DeVincentis, Maggie French, and Larry Pincus also spoke about their roles and experiences at ALL and what it has meant to them.

The Charity Group then presented President Tattersall with a donation. 

Thank you to the Cape Code Ladies Charity Group. ALL is very appreciative of your generous donation.

Spelling Correction

Last month's issue of "Staying Connected" spelled the name of ALL Treasurer Kirk Young incorrectly.

Our sincere apology to Kirk for this oversight and error.
