This year our membership will be receiving the 2009 KLU registration 
brochure in the mail during the month of May. We would also like 
everyone to know that when we mail out the registration brochure you 
will be receiving a follow up email with the link to our online 
registration form.

Another idea that we are trying to implement for the upcoming KLU 
season is the choice between the KLU handbook or the KLU handbook on 
CD. On the registration form attendees will have a choice between 
the two. Since this is something new for us, we cannot guarantee 
that members will get their selection, but we will make every attempt 
to fill their request.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me, Shannon 
Roberts, in the CLE Department at 502.564.3795 ext. 226. Thank you.
