LIFRC winter workshop opportunities
Published 9:36 am Wednesday, January 21, 2015
January is a time of year where many of us reflect and contemplate changes. Perhaps you’ve made (or are still considering) some resolutions for the new year. The Lopez Island Family Resource Center may be able to help you out!
LIFRC is starting off 2015 with a new round of entrepreneurial, technical, culinary and artistic classes and more. There are more than 20 classes to inspire you, teach you new skills, ward off the winter blues, or maybe even help you achieve a new year’s resolution.
Whether you need help navigating your new PC with Windows 8.1, are eager to delve into the Spanish language, looking for tips to de-clutter and better organize your life, curious how to upcycle old sweaters, or would like to learn about soil, irrigation, orchard care and other homesteading skills, there is something new and interesting for you to choose from.
All classes require pre-registration through LIFRC. We strive to keep class prices as low as possible so that everyone can take advantage of them, and in some cases, there is no class fee. Full descriptions and class details can be found in LIFRC’s Employment and Life Skills Winter/Spring brochure, which was mailed out to all Lopez residences earlier this month. You can view the brochure and register online by going to our website www.lifrc.org. You can also mail in your registration form. Or feel free to stop by the LIFRC office to sign up for a class.
We are excited to have so many new offerings, so many new local instructors, as well as our sponsorships from the Lopez Library and the San Juan Economic Development Council. Glen’s free tech classes on Monday evenings are made possible by funding provided to the Washington State Library by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
There is sure to be something for everyone in our Winter/Spring Program, so take a look at the brochure. Classes not meeting minimum enrollment one week before class start may be canceled, and all classes have set maximum enrollments. Several exciting workshops start in January and early February, so be sure to sign up soon to help assure you get the classes you want. Call the LIFRC at 468-4117 with any questions.
