Dear Members and Friends,
Our Winter courses wrap up this month and
Spring classes begin March 16th. Remember to
fill out your Winter course evaluations! This information helps the Curriculum Committee plan future courses and sites.
I was sorry to miss the Cabin Fever Party this year. Once again Mother Nature had her say, but the rescheduled party was well attended and enjoyed by more than 70 members and guests. Good food, fine beverages, and classy music rounded out the evening. See photos below.
See you around campus and
don't forget to vote!
Janice Kenyon, ASC Administrator
