After reviewing each interest survey, it was determined that the 2 best days and times for the program are evenings and lunchtime. The 2 options for classes are:
Mondays 7:30-8:30pm EST and Fridays 12:00-1:00 EST
Classes will begin the week of October 30 (Mon) and Nov 3 (Fri). There will not be any classes held the week of Thanksgiving. The program will end December 11 (Mon) and December 15 (Fri).
Class registration also includes a closed FB group which will serve as a community for communication, questions, and brainstorms. We will keep this page "forever" so we can always have a support system
