Kamloops Adult Learners' Society (KALS)
I am the program coordinator for Kamloops Adult Learners’ Society (KALS), a non-profit society offering quality courses, at affordable prices, to retired Kamloopsians. One of your members, Norm Moss, asked me to put something together for the Kamloops Retired Teachers’ Association about our upcoming Fall semester. I have attached a document outlining our courses, which I believe might interest to your members. Click here for the full outline.
TRU BURSARY FOUNDATION
Each year our energetic bursary committee raises funds to put into the TRU Foundation to provide bursaries to atleast two students in the Education Program. As we have over $85.000 in the Foundation. From interest we will be giving two bursaries of $1500.00 in November 2015. Activities include the monthly draw for a donated Mystery Bag and a spare change collection, Take a Book, a silent action and possibly a Mystery Tour. Bursary recipients are invited to lunch as guests for our March meeting at which the silent auction is held. Contact Bev Maxwell for more info.
H0W DO YOU RECEIVE YOUR BRIDGE
Fewer than 170 are now receiving The Bridge by mail. The rest are either picking up a copy at the meeting (OCT and FEB) or reading it on the website. I have a file on my computer of members that do not attend or receive notice of meetings that I send out in February and October to remind members when the new issue has been posted on the website.
Our goal is to reduce the cost of our mail out. I have had a couple of our lifetime members who have sent a card with stamps for mailing. That is not necessary as we do have a health bank account that is used for a variety of purposes. Thanks for your support.
