Are you curious about what the CALL Board does? Members are always welcome to attend Board meetings as guests. The CALL Board meets on the third Monday of every month. Meetings have normally been held at either Rosedale or cSpace but of course now are being held online through Zoom.
The next Board meeting—the last of the current Board before the AGM—will be Monday, September 21, 9:30–11:00 am. If you would like to attend please contact executive@calgarylifelonglearners.ca. You will then be sent the Zoom invitation. Please note that guests do not have a vote.
This Interest Group is beginning its newest eight week session online on September 24. It will explore the ideas behind these ancient practices, and the modern understandings about how and why they work on both your inner and outer world. Each session will include a period of meditation (sitting comfortably in chairs) to allow participants the opportunity to experience the benefits for themselves.
You must be a CALL member to register.
Cooler mornings and shorter days signal the waning of hazy lazy summer days but also bring anticipation of interesting new activities. This year there are limitations on in-person get togethers but CALL still has a varied and changing menu of ongoing Interest Groups. Some groups have suspended operations for the time being, but others are active and looking for new members. Groups which have the maximum number of participants may maintain a waiting list for others who are interested; a new group may form if there are enough people on the list.
There is the potential of new groups forming if enough members are interested in a proposed topic or activity. These potential groups are noted on the website on the Are You Interested page. If you have an idea for a group you would like to propose, contact the Program Committee and someone will help bring your idea to fruition.
As CALL is growing we need more people to help maintain the quality of what we offer. Take some time and get involved in CALL… meet new people, develop new friendships while providing valuable help.
There are still openings for volunteers for board positions and others to keep CALL programs going. Please check the Volunteer listings and/or email volunteer@calgarylifelonglearners.ca to see how you can contribute.
Volunteers are the backbone of CALL. We sincerely thank all of our dedicated volunteers who have contributed and who continue to contribute in making CALL such a wonderfully diverse and interesting organization! We are truly lucky to have such a rich range of life experience in our membership. Your time and talent is immeasurable. Simply put… without YOU—our volunteers—CALL WOULD NOT EXIST!
The CALL Newsletter is our way to communicate what is going on in our community. Usually we communicate to members about upcoming events, however, since all CALL gatherings are postponed for an undetermined period of time, we decided to use the newsletters as a way to ‘peek behind the curtain of CALL’, to give some general information about CALL groups and members.
You are invited to send your ideas and suggestions for future issues to newsletter@calgarylifelonglearners.ca. Let us know what your Interest Groups are doing and your strategies for coping with this situation in which the whole world finds itself. We reserve the right to edit for length and clarity; not every submission will necessarily be published.
Meanwhile, be well, stay well in every sense of the word.
