President                             Dear Friend of Door County Learning in Retirement,

                                      note that masks are required on the NWTC Campus.

                                      Registration options are both the traditional paper by mail and
2020-2021                             online. We are rolling out the software program ProClass, which
COMMITTEE HEADS                       allows you to join DCLIR with a credit card, select and enroll in
                                      classes and communicate with the DCLIR office online. Assistance

John J. Beck • 920-493-6828
                                      welcome Dixie Luedtke, our new administrative assistant, working
Curriculum Co-Chairs
                                      with Monica Nelson. Dixie, we are happy to have you on board!
Mary Koski • 920-493-9345
Tom Mather • 920-915-3767             This fall expenses of DCLIR are increasing. The additions to the
Fran Uteg • 706-781-5900              budget include the annual cost of ProClass subscription, continuing
Financial Chair DCLIR Treasurer       insurance fees, and the prospect of supporting the cost of printing
Janet Gale • 920-365-6750             our catalog. Previously, NWTC covered the entire expense of printing,
Social Chair                          but budget constraints mean that we may need to assume some
Natalie & Odin Hagen • 920-495-5330   of this cost. Annual DCLIR membership will be $70 per year/ $50
Volunteer Committee                   per semester. We sincerely hope that you will continue to support
Arnie & Helen Berto • 920-473-5026    DCLIR and try some online classes. All of us will be seeking mental
                                      stimulation and the opportunity to learn something new. Even
DCLIR Administrative Assistants       remote social contact will be welcome. Remember that scholarships
Dixie Luedtke, Monica K. Nelson       are available. A quip I read recently stated, “We Have Enough Youth.
DCLIR OFFICE HOURS:                   How About a Fountain of Smart?” Regaining youth may be just a
Monday through Friday                 pipe dream, but rejuvenating your Smart is definitely on the radar!

                                      No Kickoff event will be scheduled this year. We remain hopeful
