BOOKING A PROGRAM AND COST

• HistoryConnects Lifelong Learning Programs are $125 each. Additional charges may apply to more than one senior center site tuning in simultaneously. 

• Participants are sent an invoice after the program and payment is not due until the program is completed. We understand that there are several external factors that can impact a program centered on technology. If a program connection is unable to be made due to factors that are beyond human control (i.e. snow days, power or network failures, etc.), we will work with you to reschedule your program at no additional charge. 

CONNECTION INFORMATION

• Participants registered for a paid program will connect with VMHC via Zoom, an online meeting application. It is available for free download at https://zoom.us/download. Before each program, participants are emailed a link to join the VMHC Zoom room.

• VMHC is also able to join virtual meeting platforms operated by the participant group if desired.
