Watch your digits

Oh, the errors we see. The information you provide during registration will overwrite what we have on file 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.

Early birds encouraged!

Tours and events begin in late September. Please register early to enable us to get all necessary materials to you. Additionally, all classes and events have limited seating and may reach capacity. To ensure you are not waitlisted for your favorites, register early for best availability. Never hesitate to add your name to a waiting list. Openings often occur and/or room changes made based on waiting list sizes.

What others are

Dip a toe in ILR's volunteer pool

As 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.
Make a difference sign
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 shop using 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.

Woodstock 50 Years Later

The year was 1969. Where were you? From Woodstock and a man on the moon to the Manson murders and the Stonewall riots, the summer of 1969 was a tumultuous and eventful time. Instructor Paul Allen will take a retrospective look at the Woodstock Music Festival  using lectures as well as audio and video presentations, including the planning, logistics, musical acts, and social and cultural impact of the event. See page 16 of the ILR catalog.
