In addition to the lecture on Tuesday, February 16 at 1:30pm, Thai Arts Through the Ages, come and learn a bit of a traditional Thai craft!

Maxine Eckes, Chair of the ALL Council, announces that we have a new Chair of the Curriculum Committee. David Eiseman, who has led the World Cultures strand for eight years (!), has agreed to take over the reins from Denis Jarvis, who did a yeoman's job for five years. David, an Emeritus Professor of Music from OSU, brings experience, dedication and a love for the program to his new responsibilities in leading the Curriculum Committee. David is always open to ideas from members about possible programs.
Denis now will work with the new Facilities Committee, which is managing all the classroom tasks that make programs run so smoothly. This committee is responsible for classroom lighting, sound, audio-visual tasks, etc.
The class schedule for Spring 2010 is being prepared for printing; the focus country this term will be Germany. Once again, your Curriculum Committee has put together a fascinating collection of classes! You can expect to receive your schedule in early March.
The Academy for Lifelong Learning is a peer led organization; it takes the work of many dedicated members to make our organization thrive. As a member, you have the opportunity to contribute your talents and time by serving on one of the leadership committees. The Nominating Committee is currently looking for people interested in serving on the ALL Council, the group that oversees the organization and makes policy decisions. If you volunteer, you would be asked to commit to a 3 year term, with meetings once per month during the school year. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Kim, or talk with Bill Kemper, Paula Krane, or Julie Searcy.
* The Humanities strand of the Curriculum Committee is looking for new members. If you find the Humanities strand of interest, have some ideas for classes you'd like to see, or are interested in being more involved in ALL, this might be the perfect fit for you. Contact Kim for more information.
