The Education Department plans member courses based on the interest expressed by the members.   A log is kept of courses requested and is used to show the degree of interest shown by members.  When sufficient interest is shown, availability of instructors and class rooms is determined and a course is scheduled.

The Education Department will accept changes to the log at member meetings or by email. Clicking on the following link will take you to a form where you can express your interest in any of the course offerings.  Place a check mark next to the course you would be interesting in taking or would like the Education Department to plan for in the future.  Add your name, email address, and click on "Submit"  which will send an email  to Education Planning showing which courses you checked.  The form can be used for enrolling by selecting "Course Enrollment" at the bottom of the form.  If the form does not appear when clicking below, you may need to install the Adobe Flash Player add-in to your browser.  See instructions at the bottom of this page.
