We are rolling through Week 2 and have enjoyed seeing some of you for our virtual classes and virtual experience nights. This week also started up on-site classes, which has been a big milestone for us this summer, with lots of behind the scenes coordination and lots of excitement. We have more fun coming our way going into Week 3, and we hope you’ll join us!
 
We are SO excited to announce that we will now be offering Golf classes starting July 13! On-site Tennis classes will also be starting up on July 6 at Edgcomb. Golf and Tennis classes are offered with reduced class sizes in compliance with our 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 golf offerings.
 
 
All of the Week 3 virtual classes and nighttime experiences will be shared to current members via email by the end of this week. 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 3 here:
 
 
If you have joined us for the daytime virtual classes, we would love to hear your feedback! This may determine whether or not we continue these classes further into the summer, so please take 4 minutes of your time to complete the following survey: 
 
With all the new changes this summer, why not make some improvements along the way? We have a new look to our KBIA website! The website is mobile viewing friendly, and more user friendly in general. Things are pretty much in the same place, so you shouldn’t have trouble finding the usual forms, links, etc.  We hope you love it as much as we do!
 
The KBIA playground is now open to the public. We ask that you follow CDC guidelines to keep yourself and those around you safe and healthy if you choose to visit. 
 
 
Need a babysitter to bring your kids to the playground? Or just give you time to relax and your kids a bit of entertainment? We have a list of amazing KBIA counselors who are available for your babysitting needs. Please contact the KBIA office and we’ll send you the list: [email protected] or 207-967-2180.
 
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,
 
Mimi Fox
Executive Director
