We are about to wrap up not only 2022, but also our first semester of in-person learning back on the college campus as well as Zoom classes at home. It’s been an adjustment, but we are happy to have these choices. The Spring catalog will be on our website later in December, and we now have a third choice: hybrid classes. Thanks to new hybrid technology you can participate from home on ZOOM or in class and all participants will be able to see, hear and interact with each other! Be sure to check the course codes when filling out your registration form. The codes are different for in-person, Zoom, or hybrid courses. Double check to be safe.
Since we are in midst of the holidays, I’d like to wish you a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season. It is the season that finds us spending quality time with family and friends, celebrating in our own special way. We may have family and friends who are no longer with us, but who are alive in our memories and forever in our hearts as we think of holidays past.
As Jung Ho Pak said at the Cape Cod Symphony’s Holiday on the Cape performance, "Inspire Joy.” Tis the season. Be joyful, well, and happy.

Podcasts For You To Enjoy Over The Holidays! |
|
This continues an ongoing series of stories about Academy for Lifelong Learning coordinators and classes. Please let us know If you have a course or coordinator you would like to see featured.
|
|
Coordinator Joan Freedman has been a Cape Cod "Washashore" for 12 years. With degrees in education, psychology, and administration, she has been involved in local politics, women’s causes, charitable work, and many other volunteer activities including ALL to enrich her “retirement” years.
Joan has been busy this fall. She coordinated a course to "Welcome Washashores" and interviewed ALL members and coordinators on podcasts and video-casts at the Cape Cod Media Center. You will find links to these interviews in this article. Additional interviews are scheduled in the new year.

Please listen to our wonderful Coordinators who are the real stars of A.L.L! See the links below.

Cape Cod Times Needy Fund |

Consider giving to the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund
It has been a December ALL tradition to collect donations for the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund, a tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization. This fund provides financial assistance to Cape Cod residents who need help with housing, utilities, food, medical bills, etc. Those helped by the Needy Fund do not receive cash; payments are made directly to vendors through a voucher system. If you need assistance or are aware of someone who needs assistance call the Needy Fund at 508‑778‑5661 or 800‑422‑1446.
Before Zoom entered our lives, we collected donations in our ALL classrooms and also had a donation box in the office. Since we cannot facilitate collecting in-person donations at this time, we hope members will do so on their own.
Donations can be made online by visiting their website:

|
or by mailing a check to
Cape Cod Times Needy Fund
PO Box 36
Hyannis MA 02601
Our members have been very generous in the past, and we hope you will consider supporting the Needy Fund this year.
