Good Morning, Lifelong Learners!

We hope you are enjoying your summer so far. This week, we are excited to show you two upcoming classes that will be offered next month: Pottery for Vets (Website) and Paid to Talk: An Introduction to Voice Over (Website).

Pottery for Vets, instructed by Virginia Thompson, will be an exciting class that we are thrilled to offer our Veterans and their adult dependents. We hope you will be able to take advantage of this fun and artistic class! Please feel free to share this class information with your fellow veterans, as we are honored to be offering this class to those of you who have served this country.

If you have ever been told you have an entertaining voice or want to explore a new career opportunity, then we encourage you to take a look at our Paid to Talk class coming up in July. This class will not disappoint as you will learn tips and tricks to help you be successful in the entertainment industry through voice-over.

In addition to these class previews, we have other courses coming up that may spark your interest in cooking, technology, and the musical arts, so we invite you to take a look below at what we have coming up for you! As always, thank you for your continued support, and we hope you have a wonderful rest of your week. Hope to see you in class soon!
