Some typical CLL activities
Long before registration starts,
students line up outside the UWF
Auditorium.
Volunteers await students who
will pick up their registration packets
in the lobby of the UWF
Auditorium as the first step in the registration process.
Students wait patiently in the
auditorium for their row to be called
for registration.
A
couple of students check the famous "Yellow Sheet" that contains the
final list of available courses and times when each class meets.
Volunteers operate six laptop
computers to register students as quickly
as possible.
Volunteers verify each
registration form to make sure that classes
aren't over-filled.
After signing up for courses and
verifying that their
preferences
are available, students make a final stop at the pay station. As noted
elsewhere, students may take four courses for $40, and take
additional courses for only $10 each.
Special
Events feature outside speakers. Here, our CLL President,
Barbara Smith, gives Judge T. Patterson Maney
a certificate of appreciation for a talk about his active-duty
experience in Afghanistan. The judge, who is a reserve Brigadier
General, suffered combat injuries that required more than a year of
hospitalization.
Not all classes involve sitting
at a desk. Here, students limber up in
an exercise class.
If exercise isn't for you, how about a cooking class?
Each semester ends with "Final
Follies" on the last day of class.
Students are encouraged to "show and tell" what they've learned during
the the semester.
Members of a Tap Dancing Class
strut their stuff during "Final
Follies."
MusicalTheater students entertain
fellow
students with a vocal
selection during "Final Follies. "
The CLL Computer Club is
one of two activities
that continue
year around. The Club's monthly meetings usually feature a guest
speaker and are always well attended. Above, Jim Cooper, who organized
the club and moderates the meetings, calls a session to order.
As noted elsewhere,
everyone in
the
CLL is a volunteer. To honor the teachers who donate their valuable
time, the CLL
hosts a
"Teacher Appreciation Luncheon" at the SoundSide Club at Hurlburt Field
after each semester.
At the
January 2008 luncheon, the CLL paid tribute to Ft. Walton Resident, Ed
Horton, one of the few surviving members of the famous Doolittle
Raiders of WWII.
Retired UWF Professor Michael Barry, who lives in Ireland part of the year, entertains guests at the "Teacher Appreciation Luncheon" each year with Irish songs and stories.
