Trash to Treasure– Starts Tuesday at 12:30PM. Instructor: Tish Adams
Reduce, reuse, and recycle with flair while exercising your imagination. Add a little glue and a few embellishments to everyday items you would ordinarily throw away, to make one-of-a-kind greeting cards, gift tags, and more. You’ll begin to see product packaging, used gift wrap, and even junk mail in a whole new light. When you share your unique hand-crafted creations, you’ll bring joy to friends and family, as you help to reduce the waste in our landfills.
Cult and Conspiracy meets via Zoom on Thursday at 9:30AM Instructor: Richard Hoskin
From satanic pedophilia to white supremacy, from the “deep state” to political malfeasance, from the imprisonment of thousands “next week” to rioting in the streets, global cults and conspiracies including the rapidly expanding QAnon sow fear, division, and enthusiasm. How much is true? Should we be alarmed? Should we, can we, do something about it? Richard Hoskin draws on his experience as a journalist and historian to report on “reliable sources” and “fake news” to seek answers, inform, and discuss while leaving others to make judgments.
