Easy as 1, 2, 3At 9:00am today, our website was updated with a live link to online registration and our office began processing mailed registrations in the order they were received. Please note: Non-member registration will open on Thursday, March 5th. The exception to this is a non-member who is registered as a guest of a member or instructor/coordinator/speaker.
While we continue to have three easy ways to register--online, mail, or in person--online is your quickest option and immediately reserves your seat in class or on the bus. Online registration–accessed from the ILR website–takes only minutes and requires no passwords. Once you experience the ease of registering online, you'll understand the appeal. It's the most efficient means of registering, both for you and the ILR office.

Watch your digitsOh, the errors we see. The information you provide during registration will overwrite what we have in our database. Transposed house/phone numbers and email addresses ensure that we'll lose you. And we certainly don't want to lose you. Please be extra diligent with your digits.

Dip a toe in ILR's volunteer poolAs a member-driven organization, ILR relies on volunteers. During some classes, there is a need for one student to serve as the class liaison, providing an extra set of hands for both the instructor and the ILR office for easy but important tasks such as taking attendance, distributing handouts, and thanking the instructor at the end of the class. The committee will be in touch with class members to appoint liaisons, but it would cut our work in half if we knew ahead of time of your willingness to serve. Indicate your awesomeness by checking yes when you see the question during registration.
Our committees--Board of Directors, Curriculum, Special Events, Publicity, Finance, Administrative--are also seeking new members as others cycle off. Please indicate your interest during registration and we'll get you plugged in.

If you knew you could make a HUGE financial difference for years to come without spending a penny, would you spare five minutes to make it happen? PLEASE support ILR through the Kroger Community Rewards program, a no-cost, no-sell, nothing-to-buy fundraiser. Once enrolled, each time you swipe your Kroger Plus card, Kroger will donate a percentage (up to 4%) of your total purchases to ILR. Kroger divides these charitable funds among all participating non-profit organizations. With only minimal effort on your part (a few minutes to register your affiliation to ILR) you can help us offset our operating expenses.
If you're already supporting another non-profit through this program, that's great. But if you're not, please don't leave these dollars on the Kroger table. Simply go to KrogerCommunityRewards.com to enroll. When prompted, use ILR's Kroger Rewards Organization number: BT008. Let us know if we can help you get enrolled.
