Printing Instructions. To print a copy of the schedule, click on the OPEN HTML button below for a more printer friendly version. This version is updated continuously and includes the same information as the schedule below. Make sure to adjust the Page Setup and Printer Settings as needed and print.
Cancellations and Updates. Class schedules for each quarter are created in the middle of the previous quarter and published in the monthly Leisure News. Changes may occasionally be made in the schedule as circumstances require, and a class may be cancelled if there are fewer than five students registered. Students will be notified by phone if a class is cancelled. However, it is always a good idea to check the online calendar for up-to-date information.
Registration. Registration for CLC classes is handled by the Adult Community Center. See below for registration policies and links.
2009 Schedule We make every effort to keep this schedule updated. However, the Calendar page has first priority so a change may occasionally filter down to this page a little later. Therefore, you should always check the calendar for current updates. (Items highlighted in gray have not yet been published and should be considered tentative.)
