The site is still under construction but is gradually coming to life.
Some pages from the old site have not yet been fully reconstructed.
Importantly, the pages for paying dues and donating are functioning along with their secure links to Qgiv, our payment processor.
The SOC Archive is back! The custom search engine ‘sort of’ ready.
Please bear with me. This whole experience is a part of my lifelong learning.

The need for a new website has been driven by two things. Most critically is the fact the Peak Internet, our longtime host, is changing its business model and will no longer be hosting websites. This is driving the schedule and has much to do with bringing this site online before everything was completed. Second, is a desire to make website maintenance easier. When I retire from being ALL’s webmaster, using a widely used website builder, WordPress, should make it easier for my successor.

The Schedule of Classes for Fall 2024 is available. The vast majority of classes will be presented in hybrid mode–both in person at the Corvallis Community Center and simultaneously online via Zoom. There will be one ‘special’ class that will be offered only in person. This class has a cap on the number of participants; advance registration will be required. Other than the one special class, we are experimenting with not having any preregistration. This makes some things easier for volunteers; but it also limits visibility into how popular a class may be.
