WINTER 2021 – COMMUNITY CONNECTION 3 = Daytime Class = Online ClassHello Everyone!It has been great to be able to resume some of our classes over the past few months, and we have enjoyed seeing those of you who have been able to attend. Hopefully, we will be able to see many more of you in the future. We are still keeping our class sizes smaller than usual so that we can maintain social distancing, because of this occasionally classes ll and we have to start a waiting list. If you can let us know if you have changed your mind or are unable to attend a class you have registered for, we would appreciate it. Doing this would open up a space for someone on the waiting list to enjoy the event.Please take a look at the classes in the Save the Date category. This section includes classes that we hope to run in the new year. However, to avoid cancellations and refunds, we are not adding them to the registration page at this time. Once we know if they can happen, we will send out notications via email, so this is a great time to be sure we have your most current contact information. In the meantime, the classes still show on the calendar so you can go ahead and SAVE THE DATE!If you still prefer to stay home, we have some more online classes this winter.
