Luck Community Education and Area Events

Luck Community Ed. Classes & Area Events Hello, Hope your summer days aren't speeding by too fast; it was difficult to turn the calendar to August... I'd rather flip it back to June again! Can you relate? I thought it would be wise to slowly ease you into thinking about our continuing education classes now, rather than dump a whole bunch on you this fall... and there are lots of GREAT classes, just you wait! We have a few in August that are really worth your time, and they're listed below with Class Titles in BLUE. The CPR/AED and First Aid classes benefit everyone... you could help save a life by being proactive and being prepared. Water Aerobics classes continue to be popular and effective... jump in and give one a try! And if you need another reason to get outside, enjoy nature, and great company, sign up for the Wild Mushroom 101 class. Forward this email on to your friends, family, and co-workers if there’s a class you think they’d enjoy, too!
