November Message from the Chair

Our new board is excited about the coming year and would like to invite you to help us make Western Mountains Senior College’s programs as fun and informative as possible. For that, we need your help.

Nature, crafts, projects or academic pursuits are all welcome. What course would interest you? What would you like to teach?

If there is a topic you would like to explore, but don’t feel confident leading a class, you are not alone. I volunteered to lead a course on economic issues and only realized how little I know after the program committee said yes. I’m happy to help with ideas on sharing leadership of a course, using existing curricula, or narrowing the topic to a manageable size.

Or maybe you’ve already taught a popular course. Could you repeat it in a new location with a new audience? We want to expand the geographic range of WMSC, and welcome classes in Rumford, Andover, Greenwood, the Norway/Paris area and anywhere in between. If you can help us in any of this, please contact Lucy Abbott at LuckyAbbott.1@gmail.com or me, Jack Kuchta at johnk82510@aol.com.

We’d also like to reach out to more people. We are revamping the communications committee to improve our website, expand our social media presence and simplify our ability to share the news and hear from interested members. Steve Smith is leading this effort and would like your help. He is at stsmith4041@gmail.com.

Join us and make WMSC as much fun as it can be!

Jack Kuchta, WMSC Chair
