Each week will include a short demo to get us warmed up and instructor suggestions for paintings which may span more than one class. Students may bring their own reference or simply choose to work from the provided ideas. Whether you are new to this medium or just want to dedicate time during your week to practice and improve your skill, this class offers something for you. Join me while we explore a variety of techniques and subjects. Students will be encouraged to work on composition and values as well as color mixing and water control. We will mainly focus on landscapes, but this will vary depending upon class input and interests. So come and join us for a bit of escape, fun and play with this magical medium. Instructor: Bonny Hartigan (6 weeks)Watercolor Made Easy - Learn to use watercolor paints in unexpected ways! Students will explore the versatility of watercolors and how layering your paint can build depth, strengthen and unify colors and give you more control over your painting experience.

Tennis: Mixed Doubles - Tennis Doubles: Player Summer 2026 Session II
We welcome all men’s, women’s, mixed, and youth tennis doubles teams and individuals. If you do not have a partner, we will assign one who is similar to your level. This league is for all levels, from beginners to advanced, who want to enjoy tennis and meet new people in our community. During the first week, we will run a round-robin tournament (short set games) to get a chance to meet everyone in the program and to determine your seed in the ladder. The seeding will determine which court you will start the following week. The top four seeds will start on court 1, the next four seeds will start on court 2 and so on. When the first match is over, the winning team from court 2 will move up to court 1 and the loosing team from court 1 will move down to court 2 and likely with the other courts. In addition, each team will do rock-paper-scissors to split from your partner and form a new team for the next match. This will allow you to play teams randomly as you move up or down the court. You will play 4 matches (short set games) every week and the game scores will reflect the points earned for each match. For example, if the final score was 4:2, the winning team earns 4 points and the loosing team earns 2 points. Points for every match will be recorded, and the cumulative points will decide the seeding for the following week. If you miss a week, your team will get 0 points; please try to secure a sub from the sub list to avoid this! The seeding in the ladder and the cumulative points will be posted each week.RulesShort set games: First team to win 4 games, tie breaker at 3 all (first team to get 5 points with no deuce) Substitution rules: Must be registered online before the session starts and can only play if a team needs a partner due to absence.

Occasionally, makeups will not be possible. Preregister to attend each walk and receive updates on specific meeting location and any changes to the schedule via email. Participants should dress for the day's weather, wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water. Sunscreen and bug spray are suggested. If you have binoculars, you may want to bring them too!

Tennis: Mixed Doubles - Tennis Doubles: Player Summer 2026 Session II
We welcome all men’s, women’s, mixed, and youth tennis doubles teams and individuals. If you do not have a partner, we will assign one who is similar to your level. This league is for all levels, from beginners to advanced, who want to enjoy tennis and meet new people in our community. During the first week, we will run a round-robin tournament (short set games) to get a chance to meet everyone in the program and to determine your seed in the ladder. The seeding will determine which court you will start the following week. The top four seeds will start on court 1, the next four seeds will start on court 2 and so on. When the first match is over, the winning team from court 2 will move up to court 1 and the loosing team from court 1 will move down to court 2 and likely with the other courts. In addition, each team will do rock-paper-scissors to split from your partner and form a new team for the next match. This will allow you to play teams randomly as you move up or down the court. You will play 4 matches (short set games) every week and the game scores will reflect the points earned for each match. For example, if the final score was 4:2, the winning team earns 4 points and the loosing team earns 2 points. Points for every match will be recorded, and the cumulative points will decide the seeding for the following week. If you miss a week, your team will get 0 points; please try to secure a sub from the sub list to avoid this! The seeding in the ladder and the cumulative points will be posted each week.RulesShort set games: First team to win 4 games, tie breaker at 3 all (first team to get 5 points with no deuce) Substitution rules: Must be registered online before the session starts and can only play if a team needs a partner due to absence.

Tennis: Mixed Doubles - Tennis Doubles: Player Summer 2026 Session II
We welcome all men’s, women’s, mixed, and youth tennis doubles teams and individuals. If you do not have a partner, we will assign one who is similar to your level. This league is for all levels, from beginners to advanced, who want to enjoy tennis and meet new people in our community. During the first week, we will run a round-robin tournament (short set games) to get a chance to meet everyone in the program and to determine your seed in the ladder. The seeding will determine which court you will start the following week. The top four seeds will start on court 1, the next four seeds will start on court 2 and so on. When the first match is over, the winning team from court 2 will move up to court 1 and the loosing team from court 1 will move down to court 2 and likely with the other courts. In addition, each team will do rock-paper-scissors to split from your partner and form a new team for the next match. This will allow you to play teams randomly as you move up or down the court. You will play 4 matches (short set games) every week and the game scores will reflect the points earned for each match. For example, if the final score was 4:2, the winning team earns 4 points and the loosing team earns 2 points. Points for every match will be recorded, and the cumulative points will decide the seeding for the following week. If you miss a week, your team will get 0 points; please try to secure a sub from the sub list to avoid this! The seeding in the ladder and the cumulative points will be posted each week.RulesShort set games: First team to win 4 games, tie breaker at 3 all (first team to get 5 points with no deuce) Substitution rules: Must be registered online before the session starts and can only play if a team needs a partner due to absence.

Dance with Me: Intro to Ballet & Tap (adult & child class) - Dance with Me: Fall 2026
In this introductory ballet and tap dance class, children will experience the fun of simple preliminary ballet movements and beginner tap movements with a parent or caregiver. The children will develop their motor skills, interact with peers and with the help of their parent/caregiver get a taste of this wonderful performance art form. Adult/child pairs will learn one short ballet and one short tap dance for families to view on the last day of class. Tap shoes are a must for the children; leotard, tights and ballet slippers are recommended but not required. Adults are welcome to wear tap shoes, ballet slippers and dance attire if they so desire, but athletic shoes and clothing are sufficient for the adults. This is a great way to bond and have fun while introducing dance to your child!

Dance with Me: Intro to Ballet & Tap (adult & child class) - Dance with Me: Fall 2026
In this introductory ballet and tap dance class, children will experience the fun of simple preliminary ballet movements and beginner tap movements with a parent or caregiver. The children will develop their motor skills, interact with peers and with the help of their parent/caregiver get a taste of this wonderful performance art form. Adult/child pairs will learn one short ballet and one short tap dance for families to view on the last day of class. Tap shoes are a must for the children; leotard, tights and ballet slippers are recommended but not required. Adults are welcome to wear tap shoes, ballet slippers and dance attire if they so desire, but athletic shoes and clothing are sufficient for the adults. This is a great way to bond and have fun while introducing dance to your child!
