Description: Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing. - Benjamin Franklin This month we'd like to help you achieve this lofty goal.....well at least half of it. Generating something worth writing is up to you. However, our instructor, Sue Herbert, can help you to write something worth reading. Sue earned a BA in English Literature at Cal Berkeley and took a post grad writing class at Columbia so she knows her stuff. She also has experience as a teacher, having received her credential from the Univ. of Redlands. Following that she taught at a local elementary school and taught overseas. She hopes to make students feel comfortable, and most of all, have fun. She believes that everyone has a story and she wants to help you bring that out. Classes will be broken up into various styles such as a memoir, humor, essays, poetry, etc. You will write about what you know, but if the assignment doesn't please you.....you can write something else. Until then, go do something worth writing about !

And after hes been hooked I will play the one that is on his heart - Lady Ga Ga Do you know when to hold em ? How about fold em ? If you do great. If not even better. You're the kinda girl they're looking for! Our women's poker group started as a result of the growing popularity a few years ago. And while the buzz has died down, it's still a popular game for a few lucky ladies here at the center. In recent years, Poker has seen growth in popularity not only with men, but with women. Poker tournaments such as the World Poker Tour, and Full Tilt, as well as the explosion of poker parlors and on-line games, and televised poker games, has seen to more people enjoying the game. The rules are pretty basic, but each group has adapted variations, including different wild cards. Don't worry if this is your first time. This group is eager to welcome everyone into their game, even if you have a WSOP bracelet. We have the cards, tables, and chips. All you need to bring is some dark glasses, nerves of steel, and a great poker face. The group meets on Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. So if you'd like to give it a try stop by the front desk and ask them to deal you in.
