Happy New Year! 

 
ALL is celebrating the start of 2014 with a fine new season of ALL classes, courses, and events. We will begin with our Annual Meeting and Winter Social on Thursday, January 9 from 4-6 pm, when you'll have the opportunity to elect new officers and board members and learn about our by-laws and plans. Of course, you'll also enjoy refreshments and catching up with other members. 
 
The ALL Winter Session offers an engaging and diverse collection of courses, discussions, and events. In this issue of ALL News, we recap the classes that begin in January. To register for these or other ALL Winter Session classes, call Helen Van Fleet at 410-745-4941.
 
In this issue, we also share some photos from Ron and Annabel Lesher's current travels in India. If you have interesting travel stories or other news, please let us know and we'll share them with ALL members.  
 
See you at the Social!

Ron and Annabel On the Road

 

Annabel Lesher

 

ALL members Ron and Annabel Lesher are currently traveling in India. Annabel's grandfather was a missionary in India in the early 1900s. The couple is traveling with her family revisiting some of the places he served, including the High School in Vengurha, which he founded in 1912. 

 

The photos shown here are some that we've hijacked from Ron's Facebook page. (Ron, we hope you don't mind.) We encourage Ron and Annabel to give an ALL class on their travels when they return. In any event, it appears they are having a grand time.
