It is no mystery why so many people love the fall. The cool, crisp mornings, the twilight times, the back to school feeling – even for those of us who haven’t been in traditional school for a while! This session, Community Education is celebrating the season with the theme “Fall into a Good Book”.
Authors J.A. Jance, Bruce Bjornstad, Dennis Dauble, Marian Clish, Renee Pottle, and John Clement will be teaching classes relating their experiences and sharing stories. Several travel, art, cooking, and real life classes also draw inspiration from literary works.
We look forward to sharing these and many other unusual and delightful learning opportunities!
