Newsletter of the Academy for Lifelong Learning of Cape Cod, Inc

From The Editors:

          February, the month of sweethearts and groundhogs, white sales and car sales and walks on deserted beaches.

          As we write this on the last week of January, we don’t yet know if Phil the PA groundhog has seen his shadow. We still have not gotten our January ALLways, so we’re starting earlier. We repeat that we have no control over the post offices, but you can read our little newsletter online as soon as it’s sent to the printer. We notify you on our website.

          This month we spotlight photos taken at Winterim, at the new members meeting and at the coordinators’ luncheon. We also have a photo of some of the volunteers who planned and coordinated the 3 day Winterim. Chief volunteer coordinator Betty Moylan thanked everyone for their hard work and dedication. When asked if they’d do it again next year, all nodded.

          Enjoy the 2^nd semester, 2012. Learn, love, laugh.

Letter from the President

In behalf of Paul Arnold, ALL president, it gives me pleasure to report our achievements in January. I acknowledge the success of Winterim. The consensus is that the sessions were well planned and well received by all who attended. Our thanks go to all the committee members, especially Betty Moylan and her committee chairpeople.

          Registration for spring semester is complete. I’m pleased that we have 664 class members – a record for spring semester, and we  have 100 new ALL members, another outstanding figure.

          I hope this semester will be a pleasant and productive one, and that you become an active participant, either as a prospective coordinator of a course of your choosing or in any of our volunteer capacities. The lifeblood of our organization is the overwhelming participation of our members.

          Have a wonderful semester.

The '50s/'60s Dance

This year, 2012, we will be holding our Spring get together on a Saturday afternoon, March 10, 4:30 - 7:30 P.M., at the inviting Barnstable Senior Center. 
           We would like for the members to consider the option of bringing a person or friend of their choice, e.g., your sons, your daughters, a grandchild, or whomever. No wall flowers, please! The idea is to make this a special time for you and your date. We also encourage you to get out those jeans, those

white bucks, get a crew cut, tie back a pony tail, and wear that “happy-days” poodle skirt  once again. It is felt that you should be comfortable, relaxed and genuinely free to enjoy yourself unlike those teen years when we were all “teen angels” and “wild-'n-crazy wannabes”. Let us relive again, if but for only one evening, without the pretense, the insecurities, and all those irritating- growing pains of our youth. 
           Registration forms are available at the office. The nominal charge is comparable to that of yesteryear. We will only be asking for a small amount of $25.00 per couple ($12.50 a single). We are not interested in making a profit, but solely concerned with offering you a most favorable and memorable experience. Remember, too, this does include excellent food, a D.J ., two-door prizes of value, many laughs, fun with your good friends, and that incredibly powerful-an-historic music of our era. 
           Treat yourselves! We all owe it to ourselves to turn out for this memorable event. Just think, too, of that glow you'll feel from others as you share our musical event with those well wishers who want only the best for you. 
 

COME and join us!
