What is stopping you? I don't want to drive to downtown on a weeknight. Not to worry, we meet online.
I don't have time for classes every night! Not a problem, we meet once every other week from July to December, and as we get closer to Easter, we add 2 more classes a month.
I don't want to spend money on books. Reading materials are available online for FREE.
Come join us on Wednesday Evening, July 9, 2025, for a short orientation.
