Mamaroneck Center for Continuing Education Announces Fall Courses, Night With Timothy Geithner

Press release:

The Center for Continuing Education in Mamaroneck is mailing their Fall Course Catalog this week, featuring an array of 140 exciting classes. Among its new offerings, a fundraiser on September 15 featuring former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, a Larchmont resident.

According to the Center’s Executive Directory, Blythe Hamer, Mr. Geithner will share his experience during the financial crisis of 2008, lessons he learned, and implications for the future. “We’re excited that our community has this opportunity to hear Tim’s insights,” said Hamer. “We’re also thankful for Tim’s support, which ensures that we can continue to offer affordable classes that draw the community together intellectually and socially.”

The event is being held on Monday, September 15 at Mamaroneck High School’s McClain Auditorium. Tickets are $50. At 7 PM there will be complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a chance to meet the Center’s teachers and ask questions about classes and curricula. Mr. Geithner’s talk begins at 8 PM. Signed copies of Mr. Geithner’s book, Stress Test: Implications for Financial Crises, will be available for purchase. All proceeds from the event will benefit The Center for Continuing Education, a not-for-profit that operates independently of the Mamaroneck School District.

Fall classes begin the week of September 29. There are over 60 new offerings including live simulcasts from the 92nd Street Y, College Essay Writing, Job Search Boot Camp, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. On the lighter side are classes like the NYC Pizza Tour, Poker for Beginners, and The Art of the Cocktail. Ever popular courses in photography, foreign languages and film will also be offered.

“The Center’s goal is to offer opportunities to bring the members of our community together over similar interests,” said Hamer. “The great thing about continuing education is that there’s no homework and no grades. You’ll learn something, meet new people and have fun.”
