Each session is six weeks long, every Wednesday night from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. The class fee is $25 for seniors and non-seniors. The class is more for beginners as well as those who wish to hone their photography skills. Depending on the skills of the class, he will cover basic photographic principles and digital operations. If you don’t have a camera or are unsure which to buy, there will be some film SLR (single-lens reflex) cameras available as loaners, until you know what you are looking for. You will also learn the in’s and out’s of digital photography, but he can still do film photography as well. If you go old school, you will be responsible for the purchasing and developing of the film. Whatever camera you do decide to bring, make sure it has manual adjustments or is a SLR. So if you’d like to learn how to capture a moment in time forever, come by and register or call us at (909)862-8104 for more information. The class is scheduled to start up in early January, but the class needs 10 students to proceed. So if you would like to take the class please call us so we can let the instructor know.

She teaches the basic steps, such as the chase, grapevine, weave, triple step, shuffle step, two-step, and lock step. Everything else stems off from the basics. Intermediate is taught by Glenda Lane. Glenda is fairly new to the center but has taught TAP and ballet for 30 years. Glenda also teaches at other centers as well. Her instruction includes silver lining, and stripes.

Dave Mitchell Retires
By: Mike Sylva
Last month we bid a fond farewell to Dave Mitchell, our longtime bookkeeper. Having started with us in February 2001, he and his wife Bonnie decided to retire together. So after 15 years of making sure all our numbers added up, and that we dotted our i’s and crossed our t’s he has decided to take a well earned rest.



However, he won’t be gone for good as he is planning on becoming a member and looks forward to coming in and having fun, possibly taking some trips and getting into Wii Bowling. Dave, we’re sorry to see you go, but look forward to welcoming you back!
