Executive Director’s Message

December 2023

For the past twenty-seven years, GMALL has consistently provided opportunities for our community to learn something new, to expand our understanding on topics of interest, to be part of a larger conversation, and to socialize and meet others with shared passions.

 

As we look ahead to the coming year, we realize that a changing world means our programming requires us to think outside the box in terms of content, format, and technology. We know our events inspire discussions afterwards, but we can take that further by developing related programs and creating a roadmap for action and solutions. And we foresee investing a greater part of our budget in improving your experience.

 

We have ambitious goals for the future that we will tackle, all while maintaining what you have come to love about GMALL.

 

You’ve received our annual appeal letter in the mail. We hope you will consider a gift to GMALL at this time so that we can continue our success.

 

For those of you who have already been so generous in your support, we thank you!

 

Warmly,

Gloria Palmer

"Being a presenter for GMALL has been a delight. Members of the audience are a diverse blend of bright, knowledgeable, and inquisitive. As a presenter who has made hundreds of presentations to public groups over the years, GMALL is in the top tier. I look forward to making future presentations at GMALL, as well as attending as a member of the audience to learn from other presenters."

“GMALL’s diverse program offerings help me stay relevant and open my eyes to the world around us. I look forward to each program with high expectations; expectations that have been exceeded every time.”

Thank you for the wonderful virtual programs. Enjoying the 5:30 to 7:00 events have been stimulating and educational, without having to go out of the home in these difficult COVID times. We continue to watch and enjoy them. It is just a wonderful way to continue to bring GMALL classes to many. Thank you again.

We have regularly attended GMALL sessions for years and now that many are available both in person and on Zoom, plus feature both local and national authorities, we find them even more appealing. Whether it’s expert explanations of current events or trends, delving into literature or the arts, or learning/honing personal crafts/cooking, GMALL is always timely and mind-building. And you can’t beat the price and local convenience!
