Graphic Memoir - Graphic Memoir
Graphic Memoir - Students will employ both words and pictures to tell stories from our personal histories and those that have been passed down to us from our relatives. We’ll get our “feet wet” in this sequential art experiment by creating simple cartoon “avatars” as stand-ins for ourselves and others and use them in 4-panel comics to tell stories from childhood, school days and first jobs. We’ll examine the work of cartoonists (Barry, Chast, Kochalka,Satrapi,Telgemeier) who’ve written graphic memoirs, to understand how they use pacing and lettering and how they make their pages pop through line work, areas of solid black and color. For this class we’ll be using pencil, Flair and Micron pens and colored pencils. Instructor: Megan Jeffrey (6 weeks)

Tennis: Mixed Doubles - Tennis Doubles: Player Summer 2025 Session I
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 2-3 weeks, 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 two teams will start on court 1, the next two teams 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. This will allow you to play teams at your level and move your way up to the ladder as you get better. 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.

Graphic Memoir - Graphic Memoir
Graphic Memoir - Students will employ both words and pictures to tell stories from our personal histories and those that have been passed down to us from our relatives. We’ll get our “feet wet” in this sequential art experiment by creating simple cartoon “avatars” as stand-ins for ourselves and others and use them in 4-panel comics to tell stories from childhood, school days and first jobs. We’ll examine the work of cartoonists (Barry, Chast, Kochalka,Satrapi,Telgemeier) who’ve written graphic memoirs, to understand how they use pacing and lettering and how they make their pages pop through line work, areas of solid black and color. For this class we’ll be using pencil, Flair and Micron pens and colored pencils. Instructor: Megan Jeffrey (6 weeks)

Tennis: Mixed Doubles - Tennis Doubles: Player Summer 2025 Session I
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 2-3 weeks, 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 two teams will start on court 1, the next two teams 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. This will allow you to play teams at your level and move your way up to the ladder as you get better. 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.

Graphic Memoir - Graphic Memoir
Graphic Memoir - Students will employ both words and pictures to tell stories from our personal histories and those that have been passed down to us from our relatives. We’ll get our “feet wet” in this sequential art experiment by creating simple cartoon “avatars” as stand-ins for ourselves and others and use them in 4-panel comics to tell stories from childhood, school days and first jobs. We’ll examine the work of cartoonists (Barry, Chast, Kochalka,Satrapi,Telgemeier) who’ve written graphic memoirs, to understand how they use pacing and lettering and how they make their pages pop through line work, areas of solid black and color. For this class we’ll be using pencil, Flair and Micron pens and colored pencils. Instructor: Megan Jeffrey (6 weeks)

Tennis: Mixed Doubles - Tennis Doubles: Player Summer 2025 Session I
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 2-3 weeks, 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 two teams will start on court 1, the next two teams 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. This will allow you to play teams at your level and move your way up to the ladder as you get better. 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.

Graphic Memoir - Graphic Memoir
Graphic Memoir - Students will employ both words and pictures to tell stories from our personal histories and those that have been passed down to us from our relatives. We’ll get our “feet wet” in this sequential art experiment by creating simple cartoon “avatars” as stand-ins for ourselves and others and use them in 4-panel comics to tell stories from childhood, school days and first jobs. We’ll examine the work of cartoonists (Barry, Chast, Kochalka,Satrapi,Telgemeier) who’ve written graphic memoirs, to understand how they use pacing and lettering and how they make their pages pop through line work, areas of solid black and color. For this class we’ll be using pencil, Flair and Micron pens and colored pencils. Instructor: Megan Jeffrey (6 weeks)
