Hello Everyone,
You might remember that pre quarantine, the Adult Education Committee (AEC) wrote to you soliciting your input. We asked you, “What do you think the AEC should do and/or not do? What should Adult Education be about in general?” Over 40 of you took time and effort to provide us with feedback. The Committee is very appreciative.
Please see the list of your ideas below, and if you have thoughts or additions, send them to me (Ruth B. Schumacher, ruth.schumacher@wright.edu), or call (937-672-3368) with your input. Please note that we asterisked programming already in progress or delayed due to the quarantine.
Look for publicity about summer programming. We look forward to spending virtual time on zoom with you! Many of you are familiar (maybe, now, more than you want to be) with zoom. For those of you who might be new to the technology, not to worry. It is very user friendly. That said, if you would like some assistance, please contact Mark Gruenberg (mark@humblefamily.com) at least 3 days prior to an event.
I want to express my appreciation to AEC members for their willingness to continue to meet virtually during this challenging time. Thank you, Rachel Booth, Karen Granby, Mark Gruenberg, Phil Hoffheimer, and Renee Kirshner.
