By now, you should have received your Fall 2020 ALL catalog. if not, it can be viewed online here. Hopefully you will receive it soon.
Classes will begin in early September. Please register online, select your classes and pay the $25 membership fee. Detailed instructions are included in the catalog. Remember, there is no geographic limit, especially since all of our classes will be online. Please note many of the classes have overlapping times; pay attention when selecting classes as you will not be able to register for a class when there is a conflicting time.
Every ALL class will be presented online this fall using Webex, a video conferencing platform. The process to attend a class, as of today, is as follows:
1. A few days before your scheduled class, an email, with the Webex class link, will be sent to those registered in that class.
2. Please login a few minutes (5-10 minutes) early so you don't miss anything.
3. The classes will be live with the presenter talking to us and sharing their computer screen showing PowerPoint or video or whatever media they choose to teach with, or not.
4. Please be patient. We are at the beginning of our learning curve as we all venture into the online-only world.
5. We still are trying to figure out how to get the links to those that want to "drop in". Will follow up on that soon.
6. Contact Kimberly Moore-Crenshaw at KMoore-Crenshaw@lonestar.edu for general class questions. If you have questions or need help logging into your student account while trying to register please call OTS, 832.813.6600.

Ooh cher (sha), we passed a good time at Cooking Class today. Lou Master and Cheryl LeJune made jambalaya, crawfish pie, creole gumbo and shrimp fettuccine. Add to that, some French bread and King cake and we had a feast today. Many had second helpings. Nice start to Mardi Gras.
In Prof. Esther Robinson's "History Behind the Development of the Political Parties in the United States - Part 2", Esther picked up the story of the parties after the Civil War. She combined the historical events of the United States with how the political parties changed throughout the last 150 years. We viewed each election from 1880 and watched the demographics change every 4 years. Very interesting.
Abundio Reyes shared his story of how he came to this country when he was 17 years old. He told us how, over the last 30 plus years, he has worked his way from being a dishwasher, to manager for several large Houston restaurants, to owning his own family Mexican restaurant, Julias, located at 6126 Hwy 6 North. His menu consists of traditional Mexican dishes from the southwest region of Mexico.
United Against Human Trafficking is an organization based in Houston. Sarah Koransky from UAHT discussed what is human trafficking, the various forms it takes and how it affects men, women and children. Based on some real-world examples, we learned that we could not tell the trafficker from the victim just by looking. Sarah also made us aware of red flags to look for.
Your Advisory Committee has looked for ways to improve communications with our members. In that respect, we are using Remind to send text messages (or emails) out to ALL members as the need arises. We will alert you, to the best of our ability, if a class has been cancelled or moved, any major ALL announcements, and bus trip updates. - Cheryl LeJune, ALL Chairman
