We are out of Summer and into Fall now, and Kenny Bell kicks of the season for us with a couple of workshops.  The first one aimed for all levels with beginners particularly encouraged is at 11 am. The second class with a bit more challenge  at a more intermediate level is at 12:30 pm. His classes are always enjoyable and well worth your while.  See his summary for the previous class in This Week's Video.

 

Until later, Mary
