Visitors to the department booth were given class schedules along with materials that elaborated on the department and the college. In addition, there was much discussion about instructors and their classes, a Qigong demonstration and practice session, as well as a display of computer applications. A special thanks to Larry Nonemaker, one of our instructors who loaned us an RV as part of the booth, Steven Foster-Wexler for the Qigong demonstration and Michelle Wood for the Qigong practice session.

Community Learning Promoted
at Larkspur Spring Festival
Members of the Community Learning Department worked a booth at the annual Larkspur Spring Festival on Saturday, June 7. They promoted the spring and summer classes, with an emphasis on those held at the Bend Senior Center, site of the festival. An important part of the promotion was to let the hundreds of visitors know that the community learning classes, like the center, were not just for senior citizens but community members as well.
