Please call the Community Center to make your table reservation. Three tables have been sold so far ... 633-9876.

Beginning Tuesday, May 23, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. we will hold our third of four classes in our special series with Sandra Leonard who is a Nationally Certified Master Flower Show Judge. Sandy will teach us on this day the art of MASS designs. Please bring a container and flowers and plant material (leaves, moss, twigs, for example) from your garden or yard. There will be more handouts and demonstrations to guide you and the opportunity to practice what you have learned. Please join us for these last two classes – May 23 and May 30.

Sadly, May 17 will be our last Love to Dance class with Pat McKee at The Community Center for now. But she will be back in the fall!
