Visit us at nwtc.edu/LIR Learning in Retirement 9 Dear Friend of Door County Learning in Retirement,

We are pleased to present the Fall 2021 catalog and opportunity once again to participate in Learning in Retirement. We are grateful that we were able to adapt and sustain so that we could continue to provide classes during the pandemic. We are grateful for the positive feedback from members who participated. Thank you for making LIR available via Zoom. It’s been a welcomed companion during the pandemic. Hats off to the Learning in Retirement staff for doing these classes virtually. Enjoyed it! Even though we weren’t in a room together, it is really good for our mental health to ‘get together’ with our fellow LIR members. Keep up the good work DCLIR. Still not as nice as in-person classes, but the best we have under the circumstances. Great job by all involved with making the best of things. Thank you.

Like you, we have looked forward to meeting in person. Looking forward to when we can resume to a classroom setting. In the meantime I am so thankful for ZOOM. Sure do hope we can get back into the classroom soon. They are good, but I can’t wait until we can be together again. Thanks.

The fall term will offer three ways to gather for classes: In-person classes return. We will follow guidance from NWTC and our other class venues regarding class size, social distancing, and masking. We look forward to seeing our classroom bustling with activity again.

Zoom classes continue. Some classes will be offered on Zoom this fall. Participants will be able to participate in classes anywhere there is an internet connection.

In-person and Zoom (Blended) classes will be offered for the first time. This gives members the choice of attending a class in person or participating online via Zoom.

We sincerely hope that you will continue to support DCLIR by pursuing in-person, blended, and online lifelong learning.

Sincerely,

Mary Koski, Fran Uteg, Curriculum Co-Chairs Door County Learning in Retirement
