| A Note from Noah |
| Hi everyone,
I hope you’re having a great week! Can you believe that we’re already at the end of the quarter? We’ll be on break starting next Wednesday, and we will be back with our full schedule of in-person classes starting April 10. In the meantime, visit seniorplanet.org/classes for online programs!
I’m happy to announce that our in-person lecture on Graphic Design Tools — originally scheduled for March 2 — has been rescheduled, and will now take place next Tuesday, March 21 at White Oak. I hope to see you there!
Have a great weekend,
|
