Academy members always look forward to the next term in order to begin s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g their minds and re-establishing friendships. Almost 400 individuals participated in the Fall 2006 term. The short one to four-week classes were scattered throughout the 10 week term.
How did so many people learn about the Academy? Thanks to volunteers like Don, Lynn, and Margo, Registration Packets were mailed out months ago. Be certain to get on the mailing list for next term. Click on Contact Us above.
