Join usAs we near the end of the year-long commemoration of our 25th anniversary, we offer hardy thanks to Berkeley Square for their generous support as a fall semester sponsor and invite you—members and non-members alike—to our final Frolicking Not-So-Far Afield tour to be held Friday, November 11, 10:00 a.m., at Berkeley Square in Hamilton.
On this tour, you'll learn about Life Plan Communities—what they are and how they differ from other types of facilities. You'll explore the amenities and benefits offered, the levels of care and types of residential options available, and experience why residents choose to move to a Life Plan Community.
100% of the survey reviews for this tour last spring were "excellent," and attendees' comments included "Really enjoyable and interesting; well-configured event," and "Many thanks for including this tour; it is something I have been looking into."
There are a handful of open spots remaining for this tour. Please reply to this email ASAP to secure yours.

Wrap-up reminders
While the majority of classes wrapped up this week, a handful of others were scheduled to run long or have since been extended an extra week or more. Plan to support your instructors' efforts by showing up and finishing strong.
Thank your instructors
Your instructors are volunteers. Their dedication to ILR and commitment to you and your classmates is evident in the amount of time they invested in the preparation and delivery of their courses. Their email addresses can be found on your student schedule. Please take a moment to thank them. Want to hear more from your instructors? Please encourage them to teach again.
End-of-semester survey
At the end of next week, all fall students will be receiving an end-of-semester survey via email. Please let us hear from you so we can continue to bring you the classes, tours, events, and experiences you value.
