A Message from our President

 

Thanks to you, KALS is growing. Not only is our membership rising, but so, too, are the number of courses we offer. Your board members and other volunteers are happy to be busy, but we could use your help.

How can you help our volunteer-run organization? We offer you both short-term projects and ongoing opportunities. Whatever you select, we guarantee it will enrich your life:

If you are a retired accountant who would like a short-term project staring this summer, please email Mike Baker, our treasurer, at mabaker@telus.net

If you want to guarantee yourself a free spot in a popular class by organizing and hosting it, please email program committee co-chair Linda Macmillan at mcmila@telus.net

If you would like to learn more about our operations as you get to know fellow board members and ease your way into board duties,  please email president Nadine Fort at nadinerfort@gmail.com

If you would like short-term engagement on a committee  planning our spring social, please email president Nadine Fort at nadinerfort@gmail.com.

 

Registration Reminders

If you have a current credit in your account, please donate it to KALS or use it for Winter course registration.  Credits will not be available after June 30.

Unlike many similar organizations, KALS offers no hidden fees in our registration. In fact, KALS pays those administrative fees.

We remind you that our registration is ongoing: you can add courses at any time – if there is still room in the course. See our website: www.kals.ca
