STAMP-A-STACK - Valentine’s Day/Easter Themed Greeting Cards

In this class participants will make 12 cards (envelopes included), in 4 designs (3 cards per design). The designs will be Valentine/Easter themed. This is a great opportunity to create beautiful hand-made cards (for less than what you pay to buy cards – only $3.08/card), learn some new techniques, use tools/equipment that you may not have at home and just have fun! Gather a group of your friends and sign up for an afternoon of “you time”!! We ask that you bring your favorite scissors and adhesive (double-sided tape). Adhesive will be available for purchase ($7) the day of the event.

TAI CHI 1, 2, 3

Have you always wanted to try Tai Chi or have you been meaning to brush-up on your Tai Chi skills? Then this class is “just what the doctor ordered.” Today, more and more physicians (including Dr. Oz) are recommending Tai Chi to their patients because of its numerous health benefits. Slow, easy-to-learn movements combined with concentration and breathing result in increased flexibility, better balance, and an enhanced immune system. Come join us for Tai Chi 1, 2, 3 and you will be reaping the rewards of good health before (well, before you can count to 3). Participants should wear comfortable clothing, flat-bottomed shoes or sneakers, and be able to stand unassisted for one hour.
