 Vol. 2, Issue 4 April 2013
|
|
ALL's Spring Semester is in full bloom as we head into May. April classes are underway and many extend through June. And there are more. In this issue, we've highlighted classes that begin in May and are still open for registration.
As you attend these classes, realize that these courses are taught by people like you -- members of the fascinating and diverse ALL community. Just think about all of your experiences, knowledge, interests, and passions. Now, think about sharing them with others.
We're right here ready to help you propose, plan, and lead a class. In fact, we're having a special workshop to do just that on May 8 from 1:00 - 4:00 pm at CBMM. And, while we're on the subject, ALL is currently accepting proposals for the Fall Semester. Learn more in this April issue of ALL News.
Cheers,
Ann DeMart

Calling ALL Members!
Workshop: Planning and Offering an ALL Course
May 8, 1:00 - 4:00 pm at CBMM
Open to ALL members and non-members
Have you ever wondered where ALL gets all those great ideas for classes?
The answer is simple. The ideas come from people just like you. ALL is a learning cooperative: the courses are an extension of the of the membership, which is rich in experiences, interests, and knowledge.

ALL Course Leaders John Ford and Sam Barnett
|
At this workshop, former and current course leaders will explain the process of planning, proposing, and leading an ALL course. They will help you evaluate your potential for leading a course on your interests, hobbies, or experiences. You will learn about the many different types of courses, including discussion groups, lectures, demonstrations, trips, and other possibilities.
There is a great deal of give and take in the programs. Course leaders frequently comment that one of the most rewarding aspects of the experience is learning from others.
Here is your opportunity to become even more involved with ALL and learn how much you have to offer. To sign up for the workshop call Helen Van Fleet at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum at 410-745-4941.
Already have an idea? Submit your proposal now.
Deadline for Fall Semester course proposals is July 1.

This semester, you can look back at key characters in the Civil War or at Delmarva's lost towns. Or, you can look forward to some hands-on training in photography and canine care.

Ghost Towns, Lost Towns, and Forgotten Towns on the Delmarva: An Historical Autopsy
Phillip Hesser
Tuesday mornings, May 7 - 28
The map of today's Delmarva Peninsula is a far cry from the historical maps of centuries past. Old towns have vanished and new towns have taken their place. You'll look at the economic and environmental forces that fostered and then undercut the development of "lost towns" on the Delmarva.

Topics will include composition, how to photograph people and objects, and how to illustrate travel. You'll learn the basics to great scenes, foregrounds and backgrounds, almost anything you will want to shoot.
