MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Summer is winding down and that means that fall classes will be available soon. Your Curriculum Committee has been hard at work this summer and you should be pleased with the variety and quality of our fall class offerings contained in this booklet.

Thanks also to the very active Cultural/Travel team for helping to make pleasant summer memories for our traveling members.

Please note some changes for fall:

• Our Math & Computer Science classroom has moved from Room 177to Room 179. The newly decorated room boasts fresh paint, new tables, and carpet. While we will be sharing this space with the BW NursingProgram, friendly cooperation will insure seamless operation, and thishas already been worked out. New keys for this location have beendelivered to the office for those who will need them.

• Thanks to one of our creative volunteers, you will notice thatour presenter bio information in this booklet is opposite the classdescription. This should be a pleasant improvement that will make thebooklet much easier to use.

Please remember that ILR is only as good as its many volunteers. Your skills may be just what is needed. While we cannot always match an assignment to every volunteer, class coordinators and committee workers are always needed.

Let’s Learn Together!
