Perspectives from Space course for ALI

Ever dream of being an astronaut? Wonder what it would be like in space? Here’s your chance to find out. Jack Lousma, who was the pilot of the Skylab Space Station and flew into space on numerous other missions, will share his experiences and “home movie” during his class Perspectives from Space. Although you may never actually fly into space, you will be able to live your dream vicariously through Jack. The adventure Lifts-Off for one session on Monday, May 12 from 10:00 a.m. until noon.

New Fee Schedule

We are pleased to announce that ALI is now a nonprofit organization as designated by the IRS. By the very nature of this change, ALI assumes many more financial responsibilities than previously. Consequently, we find it necessary to modestly increase the currently very low class fees established during the past three years.

Beginning with the Winter/Spring course schedule, the new member fees are:

Classes of 1 to 4 sessions $10
Classes of 5 sessions $13
Classes of 6 sessions $15
Classes of 7 or more sessions $18

The new non-member fees are:

Classes of 1 or 2 sessions $25
Classes of 3 or 4 sessions $30
Classes of 5 or 6 sessions $35
Classes of 7 or more sessions $40

The year-long membership fee (from September 1 to August 31) remains at $25.

We are pleased and grateful for the large number of Chelsea-area people who participate in ALI classes and look forward to your continued support. The ALI Board of Directors sincerely thanks all of you.
