This week has been exciting! There has been a good amount of engagement on our virtual classes – I’m thrilled that people near and far are getting to experience our KBIA community, even if it is in a non-traditional way!
The virtual classes have been exciting but we have also been hard at work processing waterfront requests – emails have been going out in the order requests were received to confirm scheduled times – so be on the lookout for emails from Lorraine ([email protected]).
We have a few new things to share this week including an UPDATE to our waterfront registration policy and a new program we have been able to add with reduced class sizes in compliance with our current guidelines.
We are proud to share that we have developed a plan with our partners at Edgcomb to offer Tennis starting on July 6 (Week 3). We will be offering both private lessons and multi-household tennis classes for members (with limited enrollment due to current guidelines). Registration is now open and our onsite classes document (located here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tzGhKSW7g4Xd-6XWg05M801IX-AeBOlY/view?usp=sharing) has been updated to include tennis offerings.
Additionally, we have been approved to start golf classes again! Be on the lookout for more details on dates and times available – we will be sending that out next week!
All of the Week 2 virtual classes and nighttime experiences have been shared to current members via email – be sure to reach out to us if you did not receive the email this morning! Log on to the Zoom classes through the links posted in the Google Doc (updated every Thursday for the following week) and catch up on classes you missed on our KBIA Virtual Community Programming Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/KBIAvirtualcommunity/) or KBIA CIT Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/KBIACITgroup/).
A reminder that even if you don’t participate in the daytime classes, we will have nighttime experiences. Check out the lineup for week 2 here:
On site programming will be starting as of July 1! The first class – Yoga on the beach for adults! We will offer two different classes – Wednesdays and Fridays at 7am (each class is $15). Any member who joins the class and signs up in advance will be guaranteed a spot! Email [email protected] to secure your spot today!
And please do stop by sometime and say hello. I’d love to see you whether we are meeting for the first time or not!
As always, let us know if you have questions. We are in the office from 9am-4pm every Monday-Friday now and we can do business through the window on the porch!
Best,

We wanted to reach out and say thank you to everyone in our community. It’s no secret that these last few months have been straining but we are so fortunate to have our KBIA community working hard to remain connected in the midst of it all. Virtual classes began yesterday, and we have been having a lot of fun getting creative so that we can reach everyone this summer, even if it’s not the way we have done in the past. We have received incredibly generous support through our social media pages, from new members and returning ones as well. Some members have elected to join at higher membership levels to help us through this time and some have chosen to donate the amount they would have spent in on-site classes. This generosity is awe-inspiring and we are so incredibly grateful.
As we are officially starting on-site classes on July 1 we have EXTENDED the deadline to join as a member to receive the early registration access for next year (2021). If you join by JULY 1 then you will not only receive all access to virtual classes and access to registration for on-site offerings but you will also get early access to KBIA 2021 summer registration – regular registrations begin April 15, 2021 but join now and get access on April 1, 2021! If you are not a member yet then you can sign up online here: https://app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/KennebunkBeachImprovementAs/membership.html
We have received questions on how members of the community can continue to support KBIA so we have put together a handy sheet (below) to share with you that outlines a few ways that would help. Signing up for classes and offerings on-site are an obvious way and we hope to have more programming options to share as the summer continues to move along. In the interim, we really want to thank you. Your belief and support are what will get us through this time and we are so thankful for YOU!
Best,
John Bauman (KBIA Board President) and Mimi Fox (Executive Director)

Even if you don’t join us for digital classes, we hope to see you virtually for our nighttime experiences – details below!
We are hard at work in the office to register interested families in onsite offerings – both classes and waterfront sessions. We have been overwhelmed with the support and understanding from our members for us during this challenging summer and we are working hard to make sure everything we offer is both safe and fun!
This is a reminder that this year parents or babysitters who are with your child are welcome to attend onsite classes with them this year!
Remember – if you haven’t already joined as a member you can still do so by June 22 and get access to all our virtual programming, onsite classes, AND receive early access to registration next year.
