*We know you have no idea how to pronounce LLAIC (neither do we!), so let’s go with “lay-ick” or “lay-ack.” Either one will get you in the door!



Everyone went out of their way to be warm, gracious and welcoming to me as a new member. I look forward to participating more actively as time goes on.
The instructor was knowledgeable, thorough, engaging, and warm. A superb mix of “teaching”…AND engaging the class in their interpretation and understanding of the material. Her management of the class on Zoom was also excellent.
When I went to the website to find out more about LLAIC and looked at the course offerings, I felt like a kid in a candy store.
