Special Class in partnership with Chelsea Libary
ALI has arranged for an informative three-part program (two informational sessions and a home tour) about the Glazier family home. For details, see Reclaiming a Jewel of Chelsea: History, Restoration and Tour of Glazier House. This class is being given in with the Chelsea Library. Since this rare opportunity has limited seating, register through the Chelsea District Library at 734-475-8732 as soon as possible. ALI is not registering participants for this course. There is no cost for this program, but registration is required. Limited to 50 participants on a first-come, first-served basis.

ALI Winter/Spring 2010 Course Fees
ALI is committed to providing high quality, low cost learning experiences geared toward the interests of adults in the Chelsea community. Course fees are structured to enhance the ability of ALI members to sign up for multiple courses at a very low cost, but also to allow an individual to sample one course at a reasonable fee without membership.
Beginning winter 2010, all registrants will be charged a $15 fee when they register for classes each semester. ALI members who paid $25 for the 2009-10 membership in August ‘09 will have their fee waived this January only.
The change to a registration fee with each semester has been done in order to help defray increased mailing costs and to more efficiently manage ALI data. All registrants will be placed on a mailing list to be used for two years.
Beginning fall 2010, all registrants will pay $15 per semester; membership fees are no longer required.
Scholarship funding is available for those who would benefit from financial assistance. Please see below. Also, please inquire at Kick Off or contact ALI at 734-433-1000 X 7358 regarding eligibility requirements and application procedures.
ALI also finds it necessary to increase the fee schedule slightly for courses beginning with the Winter/Spring semester. New course fees are based on the number of sessions per course:
| Winter/Spring 2010 fees | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| One session | $10 | ||
| 2 - 3 sessions | $20 | ||
| 4 - 5 sessions | $25 | ||
| 6 sessions | $30 | ||
| 7 or more sessions | $35 | ||
