lecture/workshops every month, that
are open to the general public, at the Levittown Hall location.
No longer just an informal group of friends, (but a friendly
group nonetheless) this 501(3) c non-profit corporation is now
run by a Board of Directors and Executive Council comprised
entirely of volunteers. Volunteers hold positions such as
Treasurer, Recording Secretary and are also formed into
committees such as Programming (who find and schedule the
speakers), Hospitality and Set up (who set up and put away
tables, chairs and refreshments for each event) and Membership
(who ensure members are current in their dues and send reminder
messages). A Newsletter committee is responsible for creating
and distributing the organizations robust calendar of lectures,
workshops and special events. The Executive Council holds public
meetings 10 times a year. Volunteers are the mainstay of the
organization and are always in demand. If you think you can
|
help and would like to volunteer
your time, you will be welcomed with opened arms. Though the
general public is welcome to attend the many programs offered,
paid memberships (annual dues $15 for individuals and $25 for
joint membership) help to fund the ongoing operations of the
organization and enable it to secure top name lecturers from
outside the local geographic area to supplement local speakers.
In addition to receiving discounts on all the programs offered,
members are also able to borrow books from the organizations
vast library of metaphysical, holistic and spiritual books, many
of which are no longer widely available. Members also receive
the calendar of events mailed to their homes six times a year.
Two annual festivals, one in the
spring and one in the fall, are the center's primary fund
raising events. Vendors rent tables at the festival to sell such
items as crystals, jewelry, Native American |
items,
T-shirts, books and more. Food and Aura Photography services are
also usually along with a host of other fine products and
services. In addition, local area psychics freely give of their
time as readers with their donated fees going towards the
organization which helps to maintain the low cost of monthly
classes and lectures. In return, the readers gain a great deal
of satisfaction from knowing they have given back to the
universe by helping to support this valuable Long Island
metaphysical resource. Over the last few years, the Eyes of
Learning has also organized several Long Island UFO Conferences,
which they would like to resume in the near future. For more
information about meetings, membership or to receive schedule of
current lectures call the EOL hotline number at (516) 731-0909.
The calendar of events can also be found at the groups website a
wwww.eyesoflearning.org where visitors can also subscribe to a
distribution list for the events as well. |
