Open Classes Summer 2013

 

After May 1, there is no charge to have your name placed on a waiting list, so if the class you are interested in is not listed here, we encourage you to call and have your name placed on the waiting list so we can call you if space becomes available.

 

Because we are continually receiving applications and occasionally getting cancellations, this list can change quickly.
