Description: “Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” - Benjamin Franklin This month we’d like to help you achieve this lofty goal.....well at least half of it. Generating something worth writing is up to you. However, our instructor, Sue Herbert, can help you to write something worth reading. Sue earned a BA in English Literature at Cal Berkley and took a post grad writing class at Columbia so she knows her stuff. She also has experience as a teacher, having received her credential from the Univ. of Redlands. Following that she taught at a local elementary school and taught overseas. She hopes to make students feel comfortable, and most of all, have fun. She believes that everyone has a story and she wants to help you bring that out. Classes will be broken up into various styles such as a memoir, humor, essays, poetry, etc. You will write about what you know, but if the assignment doesn’t please you.....you canwrite something else. Until then, go do something worth writing about !

Location: Exercise Room
Description: This month we’d like to shine a light on our Line Dancing class. The class is actually divided into two classes: a beginners and intermediate. The beginner class is taught by long time instructor, Saundra Binney. She has been line dancing since the early 90\\\'s, and has been teaching since 2005. She teaches the basic steps, such as the chasse, grapevine, weave, triple step, shuffle ste, two-step, and lock step. Everything else stems off from the basics. Intermediate is taught by Glenda Lane. Glenda is fairly new to the center but has taught TAP and ballet for 30 years. Glenda also teaches at other centers as well. Her instruction includes silver lining, and stripes. Don’t worry if you don’t have a partner. You don’t need one. It’s a group dance. Classes are held in the exercise room on Tuesdays with the beginning class taught from 10:15 am to 11:15 am, with the intermediate class following from 11:15am to 12:15pm. The class is donation only. It’s up to students as to whether they want to donate. So put on some comfy shoes and get ready to step in line.
