Welcome to the Spring 2014 Options. We are excited to help you learn something new or do something better. Our courses and activities are stimulating and fun and taught by experienced professionals who enjoy introducing others to their subjects. Why not learn among friends, co-workers and neighbors. There are no exams, no grades, no degrees. Classes are for your own personal enjoyment and growth.

Lets put away our winter gear and get ready for the spring.

If you want to better yourself, learn how to write a grant, start a 501(c) 3 non-profit, community-based organization, buy property, discover the art of make-up and /or the secrets of writing your life story. Stop by our office. A variety of courses are waiting for you. See You in Class! Remember to take the time to consider your Options.

This term we are pleased to offer the new Dental Assistant Program as well as other courses to enhance your skills and fulfill your aspirations. We have added more classes for children. We are also expanding programs for seniors because retirement from work does not mean retirement from learning.
