Next week Community Programs will go on Spring Break (many classes will not be offered – check website for complete schedule), and we hope you take time to give yourself a break – in the sun, sauna, pool or around the house, you’ve earned it!

Thanks for counting down to SPRING BREAK with Community Programs and we look forward to counting down to SUMMER with you too!
