Dear Office,

Our Fall semester has gotten off to a great start! We look forward to continuing success throughout the term.

We have received some requests from members regarding the classroom experience. We would appreciate it if we can all abide by these requests to make each class as enjoyable as possible for everyone.

• Please refrain from wearing scented products such as perfumes/colognes or lotions, as they can cause discomfort or health issues for those with fragrance allergies.

• Please refrain from eating in class. Beverages are acceptable. We have found that eating food has created unwelcome noise and distraction.

Anecdotally, we are seeing a rise in Covid cases in our area in our demographic group. We encourage and recommend masks be worn in our classrooms, but it is not required at this time.

It is a good idea to check your email before coming to class as occasionally we have unforeseen cancellations. If there is last minute cancellation we will do our best to offer a rescheduled class and if possible record that session for those who cannot attend.



Thank you for your attention and support in these matters. We greatly appreciate your membership and hope you enjoy your classes!

Sincerely,

Lora Pollari-Welbes

Executive Director
