Membership in Central RED is required to attend, and a Zoom link will be emailed to members.

Central RED (Ready to Engage and Discover) is a volunteer-driven, lifelong learning and social organization with an abiding partnership with Central College alumni and friends who wish to share knowledge, talents and experiences. Members pay $20 annually to join Central RED.

No affiliation with Central College is required to join. For more information, visit central.edu/red or contact Mary Benedict by email at benedictm@central.edu or phone at 641-628-7641.

Bryan and Amanda Schlotterback are seasoned travelers who have stood at the foot of Mt. Everest, felt the misty waters of Skogafoss in Iceland, kissed the Blarney Stone, gazed over Paris atop the Eiffel Tower and maybe even sipped a Guinness or two in Dublin. They can’t imagine not living life, and this is a chance to hear their stories.

Bryan was born and raised in Knoxville, Iowa, and is a firefighter and EMT in Des Moines. He is a U.S. Navy Gulf War veteran and participates in Ironman competitions. Amanda was raised in Indianola and is the program manager for the Christian Opportunity Center. She has been a surrogate mother to six children.
