New Guest Membership Program

ALL has initiated a Guest Membership Program to allow potential members a chance to attend as many classes as they wish during Winter Term 2025 at no cost. We hope that the variety and quality of ALL classes will convince many of the program participants to become members. Please encourage anyone who you think might enjoy ALL’s offerings to come to this website and click on the Guest Membership Program button, above.

January 18 Update: So far 27 people are enjoying the benefits of the Guest Membership Program. Welcome!

Dear ALL Member:

I am writing to encourage you to become an ALL volunteer.  ALL depends on volunteers in all aspects of its operation.  Many of our existing volunteers, who have served us well for many years, have reached that point in life when they wish to let others take over their ALL tasks.  Without more volunteers we will at some point be unable to continue offering the range of learning opportunities now provided. I am sharing my ALL experiences with you in order to describe the rewarding experience that awaits you if you become an ALL volunteer,

When I retired, ALL classes and my becoming an ALL volunteer provided me with the intellectual stimulation which I feared losing as a result of my retirement.  I agreed to be on the Board because I viewed Board service as an interesting way to spend my time, give back to the community, and hopefully contribute to ALL’s continued success.  

While serving on the Board and four different committees ,I got to know a number of friendly, intelligent, and interesting people who shared my intellectual curiosity and passion for learning.  I would not have met these people had I not been an ALL volunteer.

There are many ways that you can be an ALL volunteer.  We have a critical need for Curriculum Committee volunteers.

Members of the Curriculum Committee (CC) find the speakers who present our classes and coordinate the scheduling of their classes.  Most of the work is done via email.  The CC members usually, but need not, serve as the classroom host who introduces the speaker to the audience.  With 90 to 100 classes per year we need at least 15 CC members (with each doing six classes per year).  With a larger CC we could present more classes.

For detailed information about volunteer opportunities, please email the Program Coordinator at:  admin@academyforlifelonglearning.org.

Thank you for being part of ALL.
