About Hybrid Programming
At the time of print , we are in Tier 3 Mitigation of COVID-19 Restrictions . This means that we are pausing all in-person participation at Dickinson Hall . If at any point during this window of programming something changes and we are able to offer in-person participation again , we will update you via our email newsletter that comes out weekly . Contact us at 847-234-2209 or send us an email at dhall @ cityoflakeforest . com to be added to the list .
Hybrid Programming : refers to blended viewing options . You can choose to view at home or at Dickinson Hall . Unless noted , the presenter will NOT be on-site for programming until further COVID-19 restrictions are lifted .
Every program can be a hybrid presentation . ALL ZOOM PROGRAMS offered in this Newsbrief can be viewed on-site at Dickinson Hall as long as COVID-19 restrictions allow . We welcome you to take advantage of this opportunity when you can !
Webinar / Presentation : these words are interchangeable . They are programs in which you , the viewer , are NOT seen . The host , presenter , and other participants cannot see or hear you . Communication with the presenter happens mostly via the chat box , however , the Host can allow you to talk when prompted . You don ’ t need a camera or microphone to be part of these programs .
Meeting : A Zoom meeting is a video meeting in which participants and presenters CAN see and hear each other . This setting is ideal for group conversation , small group presentations , and easy communication with the presenter . While in Zoom meetings the Host may mute or unmute participants as needed .
Manager ’ s Note
I would like to wish everyone and their families a Happy New Year ! Although at the time of this writing there is still the crunching of leaves underfoot , the cold crisp air and the threat of falling snow soon . We all know that is the announcement of the change of seasons and with that , the end of 2020 . Many will say that 2020 certainly was not what we expected . Along with the end though , comes a chance for a fresh start . Looking ahead to 2021 , what else can we do but plan for the expected , as well as the unexpected . If you ’ d like some inspirations for making resolutions for the new year look to page 11 for a quick list of little changes to help lead a happier and healthier 2021 .
With new restrictions upon us , we again are trying to reach as many members as possible . We are still available for over the phone and one-on-one help for getting connected to Zoom . If you or someone else you know would like to join us via Zoom to view lectures , please reach out to us . We are trying very hard to get as many of you as possible on these programs as we know that for some of you , this may be your only outlook to normalcy .
Given it is a new year , I would like to spotlight our fitness programs ! While it may be through Zoom at this time , starting in January our wonderful Yoga instructor , Ana Holland-Krawec is starting a new class , Zumba Gold ! The information regarding the class as well as her other classes is on page 6 . I hope you or someone you know will take the time this year to do something that may benefit you in mind , as well as in body .
We are remaining optimistic that things will get better as we move through 2021 and are looking forward to spring when we can have more outdoor activities .
I , along with the rest of the staff at Dickinson Hall , wish you and your family a safe and healthy New Year !.
Tricia
