This class will begin with a brief overview of the current state of the automotive industry and how it affects your purchase and ownership experience. The course will then explore the sales process, acquisition timing, lease vs. purchase, and finance alternatives. We will then look at maintenance practices and how they affect your vehicle. The course will conclude with resale alternatives, trade-in vs. outright sale. This class will build on the previous first class and will include the use of internet research to maximize your buying position. Having an Internet capable device, such as a phone, tablet, laptop is preferable for this course.

We will watch and discuss movies with jazz/blues soundtracks, plots, or actors. Plus a few surprises! Suggestions are encouraged. Class is 9 weeks, as I may be out of town during the semester. Depending on the length of the movie, the class may not last the allotted time.

Learn how to record, edit, and share your own YouTube video! This hands-on course focuses on using smartphones as the easiest and most powerful tool for video creation. You’ll learn the essentials by completing a personal video project that engages with the people, places, or stories at the Jewish Federation, and upload it to YouTube. You may also choose a topic connected to your own interests. Required: A smartphone (iPhone 8+/Android 9+) with working camera, mic, and app access. Newer laptops are welcome—contact the instructor if unsure your tech is suitable.

We will focus on 3 plays, spending 1 week talking about the play, looking at parts of a movie or You Tube version; 1 week taking parts and beginning to read it; 1 week reading the whole play. We may choose to do a staged reading for friends the final week. Barb Thomas will also be instructing during the course.

How often have you wished you had asked your parents, grandparents, or aunts and uncles about what life was like when they were younger? Young people usually don’t think to ask those questions until older loved ones are not around to answer. So, this is your chance to write down the stories of your life so that the younger generations will benefit from your wisdom, discover how you overcame difficulties or reached goals, and learn what life was like before computers and cell phones. The instructor will present topics for you to choose from, such as memories of your parents, your first job, etc., and class discussions will help spark ideas for your stories. You won’t write a complete autobiography as such, but you will wind up with a collection of memories that will become a cherished legacy for the younger generations in your family. Bring paper and a pen or a laptop if you wish, and don’t worry about spelling or grammar: It’s all about the stories! Copy fee of $1 at first class.

By the end of this class you will feel confident playing in the community and having fun!
