Community Calendar

Join Us! Free and fun workshops for the community since January, 2023. No experience necessary. It's fun! Using the principles of improvisation, these workshops/FUNshops help participants destress, release their creativity, improve communication skills, gain confidence, and more! A great additional benefit is finding new friends who will connect you to other fun community activities/groups. Participants come from all walks of life with our ages spanning from mature teens to our sixties, and we all support each other!

There is no fee charged and no registration required. Come when you can, participate as you desire (or just watch), leave when you must. Mature 16-year-olds and older are welcome. Cheap snacks are available. Free, large lighted parking lot.

If you are new to Digital SLR cameras or have had one for a while and just want to become more familiar with its workings and how to improve your photos, this is the class for you! This class will go through your camera’s menu and inner workings, as well as images to show how they affect your pictures.

During this class you will learn what buttons and functions on your camera may help improve the use of your camera to help you spend less time making changes and more time taking pictures. Learning about shutter speed and apertures will be discussed to learn their importance in image making. Students should have their cameras, USB cable and instruction manual.

Register early – this class is always a sellout!
