These activities are designed for adults with developmental disabilities (age 18+). Participants in these activities can attend alone or with a staff/assistant they bring along. Participants are asked to register with a staff or family member if personal care assistance is needed. If attending alone, the participant should be able to function independently in a group setting, follow simple directions and communicate their needs. All reasonable accommodations will be made to meet the needs of all participants. Community Education welcomes persons of all abilities to participate in any of the activities we offer. Contact us at least one week in advance if assistance is needed. This includes sign language interpretation.

Welcome to Spring 2016! Dear H.O.P.E. Participants and Friends,

Winter sure was cold, are you ready for spring? I think winter is sometimes so cold and snowy so when the warmth of the sunshine comes and the snow starts to melt we really appreciate this change. The Spring H.O.P.E. Flyer covers just April and May, but it’s full of fun classes and trips, some new and many “old” favorites.

Thanks to some specific requests, we have brought back the Tie Dye T-Shirt class! Because our cooking classes are so popular, we expanded them by making it a three part cooking class. We also have fun local outings and the all-time favorite craft classes.

Take a look inside the Spring H.O.P.E. Flyer and see what looks like fun to you. Also, feel free to share this flyer with your friends and let them know how fun it is! Better yet, bring one of your friends who are new to H.O.P.E. to our Bingo with a Buddy class. Enjoy spring and I hope to see you at some of the classes!

Becky Hanson,H.O.P.E. Coordinator
