Happy New Year!
During the last couple of years, the program has had a larger interest than in the past for the members of Union. There have been several courses where the registration has had to be capped because so many people registered to attend.
They limit the class sizes to approximately 70 people/class, because of funding. Unfortunately, this means that several people who wanted to attend are unable to sign up. The reality is, that often on the night of class many people do not attend. These are spots that could have been filled by people who were unable to sign up. In an attempt to avoid this in the future, the sign up for classes will be a couple of weeks before the actual class. That will keep everything fresh in our minds, as when we sign up 4 months in advance, it is easy to forget or have something come up. I am hoping that everyone finds this change a positive one!
I used to send out class reminders to everyone who signed up for classes, but unless you send me an email letting me know that you signed up, I don’t know who to send it out to. Therefore, please send me an email to let me know when you sign up for a class, and let me know if you want to be sent a reminder of the sign up dates as they come up for these courses, so you don’t miss something you wanted to attend.
