Registration is Over- Classes In Progress

We are attempting to contact everyone who signed up for a class to advise what classes are available and when they will meet.

If you have any questions or problems please contact me at ajlinds@yahoo.com

The response to our fall classes has been overwhelming. As an all volunteer organization, we were not prepared to handle the response we received. Our teachers have graciously offered to add classes in an effort to meet the demand, but there are limits.

I hope you will learn from the classes and join us in providing more opportunities in the future. The coaches in our classes all started out as beginners. So learn all you can and plan to become a coach or instructor.

Check this blog daily for any changes or opportunities.

Thanks to P.J. Williams and her staff at the Fort Smith Library for their tireless efforts and help in making this happen.
