&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Woodcarvers - Fall 2026 (10 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;Summary&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is no instructor. The club members choose a common project and share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques. The group will lend you some tools to try out during the introduction but each participants must have their own tools. At a minimum, a sharp woodcarving knife is needed. Wear work clothes. An apron to catch the wood shavings is useful.&amp;nbsp; A fee is charged for rough wood cutouts. Club members, both men and women, range in skill from beginner and up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INSTRUCTOR:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;There is no instructor; members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A sharp woodcarving knife.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OPTIONAL:&lt;/strong&gt; Cut-Resistant gloves, woodcarving gouges, V-tools, and files are used by members.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLOTHING:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Work clothes and apron.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEVEL&lt;/strong&gt;: From beginner and up.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDITIONAL FEES:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; Fee charged for rough wood cutout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Description&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Wood Carving Club members enjoy carving a variety of subjects including birds, animals, plants and caricatures in the round and in relief. Carving are normally made from basswood which is relatively easy to work with sharp hand tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The group choose a common project and arranges the bulk purchases of basswood in order to share the cost between members. The bulk bassword is converted into rough cutout for the project by one of the members using a bandsaw. Members can choose to complete the common project or work on a project of their own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Carvers work on their projects while seated at a table. Wearing a shop apron is a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some members may complete more than one carving as each member works at their own pace. Carvings can be completed with just a sharp carving knife; however the addition of a woodcarving gouge and files can be useful. Over time, most carvers add other woodcarving tools such as cut-resistant gloves, additional gouges and V-tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Completed carving can be printed, sealed with a clear sealant or left unfinished. A burning tool can also be used to accent the woodcarving. Some carvers use sandpaper to finish the carving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Step-by-step instructions is not provided. However, members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques and will advise beginners on carving tool selection, sharpening and usage. Since a number of members are completing the same carving project there is ample opportunity to observe the carving process at different stages and in different styles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the best ways to learn woodcarving is to observe others completing a woodcarving and to attempt a carving yourself. If you have woodcarving tools, bring them along. Members will also be happy to provide information on where to purchase carving tools.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Croma and Current - Advanced Watercolour - Fall 2026 (14 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alesha Buczny - Croma and Current - Advanced Watercolour&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisite:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;An understanding of Watercolor and Drawing&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;In the advance watercolor we are going to practice many basic watercolor techniques and incorporating Color Theory concepts into our projects: Complementary, Secondary, Monochromatic, Analogues, warm, cool, high , and low intensity colors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be focusing on Composition and how to use your own images and create your own artwork.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be learning about adding different textures by playing with many techniques like salt, alcohol, stamping, plastic wrap, sgraffito, transfers, ink, and gouache resist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colors recommended to add to your pallet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Gamboge Yellow&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Quinacridone Rose or Permanent Rose&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Purple Lake&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sap Green&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Hookers Green&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Turquoise&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Indigo&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Indian Red&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other Materials&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;One tube of Windsor Newton/Cotman&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;White Gouache&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;(used just like watercolor paint) its opaque rather than transparent. We will be using this with India Ink for a resist Piece&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;Small bottle of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Black Indian Ink or Black Chinese Ink&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;Foam Brush (1½ or 2 inches wide)&lt;br&gt;

      <title>Woodcarvers - Fall 2026 (17 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;Summary&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is no instructor. The club members choose a common project and share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques. The group will lend you some tools to try out during the introduction but each participants must have their own tools. At a minimum, a sharp woodcarving knife is needed. Wear work clothes. An apron to catch the wood shavings is useful.&amp;nbsp; A fee is charged for rough wood cutouts. Club members, both men and women, range in skill from beginner and up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INSTRUCTOR:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;There is no instructor; members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A sharp woodcarving knife.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OPTIONAL:&lt;/strong&gt; Cut-Resistant gloves, woodcarving gouges, V-tools, and files are used by members.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLOTHING:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Work clothes and apron.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEVEL&lt;/strong&gt;: From beginner and up.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDITIONAL FEES:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; Fee charged for rough wood cutout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Description&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Wood Carving Club members enjoy carving a variety of subjects including birds, animals, plants and caricatures in the round and in relief. Carving are normally made from basswood which is relatively easy to work with sharp hand tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The group choose a common project and arranges the bulk purchases of basswood in order to share the cost between members. The bulk bassword is converted into rough cutout for the project by one of the members using a bandsaw. Members can choose to complete the common project or work on a project of their own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Carvers work on their projects while seated at a table. Wearing a shop apron is a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some members may complete more than one carving as each member works at their own pace. Carvings can be completed with just a sharp carving knife; however the addition of a woodcarving gouge and files can be useful. Over time, most carvers add other woodcarving tools such as cut-resistant gloves, additional gouges and V-tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Completed carving can be printed, sealed with a clear sealant or left unfinished. A burning tool can also be used to accent the woodcarving. Some carvers use sandpaper to finish the carving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Step-by-step instructions is not provided. However, members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques and will advise beginners on carving tool selection, sharpening and usage. Since a number of members are completing the same carving project there is ample opportunity to observe the carving process at different stages and in different styles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the best ways to learn woodcarving is to observe others completing a woodcarving and to attempt a carving yourself. If you have woodcarving tools, bring them along. Members will also be happy to provide information on where to purchase carving tools.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alesha Buczny - Croma and Current - Advanced Watercolour&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisite:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;An understanding of Watercolor and Drawing&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;In the advance watercolor we are going to practice many basic watercolor techniques and incorporating Color Theory concepts into our projects: Complementary, Secondary, Monochromatic, Analogues, warm, cool, high , and low intensity colors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be focusing on Composition and how to use your own images and create your own artwork.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be learning about adding different textures by playing with many techniques like salt, alcohol, stamping, plastic wrap, sgraffito, transfers, ink, and gouache resist.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Woodcarvers - Fall 2026 (1 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;Summary&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is no instructor. The club members choose a common project and share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques. The group will lend you some tools to try out during the introduction but each participants must have their own tools. At a minimum, a sharp woodcarving knife is needed. Wear work clothes. An apron to catch the wood shavings is useful.&amp;nbsp; A fee is charged for rough wood cutouts. Club members, both men and women, range in skill from beginner and up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INSTRUCTOR:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;There is no instructor; members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A sharp woodcarving knife.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OPTIONAL:&lt;/strong&gt; Cut-Resistant gloves, woodcarving gouges, V-tools, and files are used by members.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLOTHING:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Work clothes and apron.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEVEL&lt;/strong&gt;: From beginner and up.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDITIONAL FEES:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; Fee charged for rough wood cutout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Description&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Wood Carving Club members enjoy carving a variety of subjects including birds, animals, plants and caricatures in the round and in relief. Carving are normally made from basswood which is relatively easy to work with sharp hand tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The group choose a common project and arranges the bulk purchases of basswood in order to share the cost between members. The bulk bassword is converted into rough cutout for the project by one of the members using a bandsaw. Members can choose to complete the common project or work on a project of their own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Carvers work on their projects while seated at a table. Wearing a shop apron is a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some members may complete more than one carving as each member works at their own pace. Carvings can be completed with just a sharp carving knife; however the addition of a woodcarving gouge and files can be useful. Over time, most carvers add other woodcarving tools such as cut-resistant gloves, additional gouges and V-tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Completed carving can be printed, sealed with a clear sealant or left unfinished. A burning tool can also be used to accent the woodcarving. Some carvers use sandpaper to finish the carving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Step-by-step instructions is not provided. However, members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques and will advise beginners on carving tool selection, sharpening and usage. Since a number of members are completing the same carving project there is ample opportunity to observe the carving process at different stages and in different styles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the best ways to learn woodcarving is to observe others completing a woodcarving and to attempt a carving yourself. If you have woodcarving tools, bring them along. Members will also be happy to provide information on where to purchase carving tools.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Seated Yoga - Thursday - Fall 2026 (1 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Instructor: Gina Komanac&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Seated Yoga - Monday - Fall 2026 (5 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Instructor: Gina Komanac&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Croma and Current - Advanced Watercolour - Fall 2026 (5 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alesha Buczny - Croma and Current - Advanced Watercolour&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisite:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;An understanding of Watercolor and Drawing&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;In the advance watercolor we are going to practice many basic watercolor techniques and incorporating Color Theory concepts into our projects: Complementary, Secondary, Monochromatic, Analogues, warm, cool, high , and low intensity colors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be focusing on Composition and how to use your own images and create your own artwork.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be learning about adding different textures by playing with many techniques like salt, alcohol, stamping, plastic wrap, sgraffito, transfers, ink, and gouache resist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colors recommended to add to your pallet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Pelvic Floor Exercise Class (7 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seated Yoga for Pelvic Health&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Our pelvic health is a powerful, whole-body system - it doesn't work in isolation. It is linked to our feet, hips, core and jaw - as well as how we move &amp;amp; breathe each day. We can improve our pelvic floor function at any age!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
These yoga classes will incorporate gentle movement, breathing exercises along with pelvic floor awareness while seated or standing &amp;amp; using the chair for support. We will also use the wall for some additional supported movements. This pelvic health session provides a comfortable environment where each individual can participate at their own level.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Props needed:&lt;/strong&gt; Yoga mat, 2 yoga blocks, folded blanket&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructor:&lt;/strong&gt; Val Spak&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Woodcarvers - Fall 2026 (8 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;Summary&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is no instructor. The club members choose a common project and share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques. The group will lend you some tools to try out during the introduction but each participants must have their own tools. At a minimum, a sharp woodcarving knife is needed. Wear work clothes. An apron to catch the wood shavings is useful.&amp;nbsp; A fee is charged for rough wood cutouts. Club members, both men and women, range in skill from beginner and up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INSTRUCTOR:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;There is no instructor; members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A sharp woodcarving knife.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OPTIONAL:&lt;/strong&gt; Cut-Resistant gloves, woodcarving gouges, V-tools, and files are used by members.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLOTHING:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Work clothes and apron.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEVEL&lt;/strong&gt;: From beginner and up.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDITIONAL FEES:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; Fee charged for rough wood cutout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Description&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Wood Carving Club members enjoy carving a variety of subjects including birds, animals, plants and caricatures in the round and in relief. Carving are normally made from basswood which is relatively easy to work with sharp hand tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The group choose a common project and arranges the bulk purchases of basswood in order to share the cost between members. The bulk bassword is converted into rough cutout for the project by one of the members using a bandsaw. Members can choose to complete the common project or work on a project of their own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Carvers work on their projects while seated at a table. Wearing a shop apron is a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some members may complete more than one carving as each member works at their own pace. Carvings can be completed with just a sharp carving knife; however the addition of a woodcarving gouge and files can be useful. Over time, most carvers add other woodcarving tools such as cut-resistant gloves, additional gouges and V-tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Completed carving can be printed, sealed with a clear sealant or left unfinished. A burning tool can also be used to accent the woodcarving. Some carvers use sandpaper to finish the carving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Step-by-step instructions is not provided. However, members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques and will advise beginners on carving tool selection, sharpening and usage. Since a number of members are completing the same carving project there is ample opportunity to observe the carving process at different stages and in different styles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the best ways to learn woodcarving is to observe others completing a woodcarving and to attempt a carving yourself. If you have woodcarving tools, bring them along. Members will also be happy to provide information on where to purchase carving tools.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Introduction:&lt;br&gt;
I am Gabrielle Borger, a fully certified Essentrics instructor. This dynamic, full-body workout engages every muscle group to build strength and enhance flexibility. By working through interconnected muscle chains, Essentrics helps release tension, rejuvenate the body, and support overall vitality-making it an ideal practice for injury prevention, pain management, stress reduction, and immune system support. Through gentle in nature, the results are remarkably powerful.&lt;br&gt;

The Essentrics method was developed by Miranda Esmonde-White, author of the bestselling book &lt;em&gt;Forever Painless,&lt;/em&gt; Where she offers clear, accessible guidance on exercises that improve posture, balance, and everyday comfort.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;A typical Essentrics class blends standing sequences with floor work and occasional barre exercises, all accompanied by carefully curated music. Varying styles and tempos are selected to complement each movement, keeping very session engaging and enjoyable.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Pelvic Floor Exercise Class (14 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seated Yoga for Pelvic Health&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Our pelvic health is a powerful, whole-body system - it doesn't work in isolation. It is linked to our feet, hips, core and jaw - as well as how we move &amp;amp; breathe each day. We can improve our pelvic floor function at any age!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
These yoga classes will incorporate gentle movement, breathing exercises along with pelvic floor awareness while seated or standing &amp;amp; using the chair for support. We will also use the wall for some additional supported movements. This pelvic health session provides a comfortable environment where each individual can participate at their own level.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Props needed:&lt;/strong&gt; Yoga mat, 2 yoga blocks, folded blanket&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructor:&lt;/strong&gt; Val Spak&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Woodcarvers - Fall 2026 (15 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;Summary&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is no instructor. The club members choose a common project and share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques. The group will lend you some tools to try out during the introduction but each participants must have their own tools. At a minimum, a sharp woodcarving knife is needed. Wear work clothes. An apron to catch the wood shavings is useful.&amp;nbsp; A fee is charged for rough wood cutouts. Club members, both men and women, range in skill from beginner and up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INSTRUCTOR:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;There is no instructor; members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A sharp woodcarving knife.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OPTIONAL:&lt;/strong&gt; Cut-Resistant gloves, woodcarving gouges, V-tools, and files are used by members.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLOTHING:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Work clothes and apron.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEVEL&lt;/strong&gt;: From beginner and up.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDITIONAL FEES:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; Fee charged for rough wood cutout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Description&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Wood Carving Club members enjoy carving a variety of subjects including birds, animals, plants and caricatures in the round and in relief. Carving are normally made from basswood which is relatively easy to work with sharp hand tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The group choose a common project and arranges the bulk purchases of basswood in order to share the cost between members. The bulk bassword is converted into rough cutout for the project by one of the members using a bandsaw. Members can choose to complete the common project or work on a project of their own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Carvers work on their projects while seated at a table. Wearing a shop apron is a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some members may complete more than one carving as each member works at their own pace. Carvings can be completed with just a sharp carving knife; however the addition of a woodcarving gouge and files can be useful. Over time, most carvers add other woodcarving tools such as cut-resistant gloves, additional gouges and V-tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Completed carving can be printed, sealed with a clear sealant or left unfinished. A burning tool can also be used to accent the woodcarving. Some carvers use sandpaper to finish the carving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Step-by-step instructions is not provided. However, members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques and will advise beginners on carving tool selection, sharpening and usage. Since a number of members are completing the same carving project there is ample opportunity to observe the carving process at different stages and in different styles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the best ways to learn woodcarving is to observe others completing a woodcarving and to attempt a carving yourself. If you have woodcarving tools, bring them along. Members will also be happy to provide information on where to purchase carving tools.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;We will enjoy dancing to various types of music, including country, pop, Latin, waltz, and some oldies too!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT TO WEAR&lt;/strong&gt;: Wear comfortable, layered clothes and smooth-soled indoor shoes. Bring a water bottle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INSTRUCTOR&lt;/strong&gt;: Your instructor Julian So&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Seated Yoga - Monday - Fall 2026 (19 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Instructor: Gina Komanac&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Croma and Current - Advanced Watercolour - Fall 2026 (19 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alesha Buczny - Croma and Current - Advanced Watercolour&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisite:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;An understanding of Watercolor and Drawing&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;In the advance watercolor we are going to practice many basic watercolor techniques and incorporating Color Theory concepts into our projects: Complementary, Secondary, Monochromatic, Analogues, warm, cool, high , and low intensity colors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be focusing on Composition and how to use your own images and create your own artwork.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be learning about adding different textures by playing with many techniques like salt, alcohol, stamping, plastic wrap, sgraffito, transfers, ink, and gouache resist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colors recommended to add to your pallet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Gamboge Yellow&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Quinacridone Rose or Permanent Rose&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Purple Lake&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sap Green&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Hookers Green&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Turquoise&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Indigo&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Indian Red&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other Materials&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;One tube of Windsor Newton/Cotman&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;White Gouache&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;(used just like watercolor paint) its opaque rather than transparent. We will be using this with India Ink for a resist Piece&lt;/td&gt;

      <title>Pelvic Floor Exercise Class (21 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seated Yoga for Pelvic Health&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Our pelvic health is a powerful, whole-body system - it doesn't work in isolation. It is linked to our feet, hips, core and jaw - as well as how we move &amp;amp; breathe each day. We can improve our pelvic floor function at any age!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
These yoga classes will incorporate gentle movement, breathing exercises along with pelvic floor awareness while seated or standing &amp;amp; using the chair for support. We will also use the wall for some additional supported movements. This pelvic health session provides a comfortable environment where each individual can participate at their own level.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Props needed:&lt;/strong&gt; Yoga mat, 2 yoga blocks, folded blanket&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructor:&lt;/strong&gt; Val Spak&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Woodcarvers - Fall 2026 (22 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;Summary&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is no instructor. The club members choose a common project and share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques. The group will lend you some tools to try out during the introduction but each participants must have their own tools. At a minimum, a sharp woodcarving knife is needed. Wear work clothes. An apron to catch the wood shavings is useful.&amp;nbsp; A fee is charged for rough wood cutouts. Club members, both men and women, range in skill from beginner and up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INSTRUCTOR:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;There is no instructor; members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A sharp woodcarving knife.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OPTIONAL:&lt;/strong&gt; Cut-Resistant gloves, woodcarving gouges, V-tools, and files are used by members.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLOTHING:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Work clothes and apron.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEVEL&lt;/strong&gt;: From beginner and up.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDITIONAL FEES:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; Fee charged for rough wood cutout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Description&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Wood Carving Club members enjoy carving a variety of subjects including birds, animals, plants and caricatures in the round and in relief. Carving are normally made from basswood which is relatively easy to work with sharp hand tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The group choose a common project and arranges the bulk purchases of basswood in order to share the cost between members. The bulk bassword is converted into rough cutout for the project by one of the members using a bandsaw. Members can choose to complete the common project or work on a project of their own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Carvers work on their projects while seated at a table. Wearing a shop apron is a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some members may complete more than one carving as each member works at their own pace. Carvings can be completed with just a sharp carving knife; however the addition of a woodcarving gouge and files can be useful. Over time, most carvers add other woodcarving tools such as cut-resistant gloves, additional gouges and V-tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Completed carving can be printed, sealed with a clear sealant or left unfinished. A burning tool can also be used to accent the woodcarving. Some carvers use sandpaper to finish the carving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Step-by-step instructions is not provided. However, members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques and will advise beginners on carving tool selection, sharpening and usage. Since a number of members are completing the same carving project there is ample opportunity to observe the carving process at different stages and in different styles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the best ways to learn woodcarving is to observe others completing a woodcarving and to attempt a carving yourself. If you have woodcarving tools, bring them along. Members will also be happy to provide information on where to purchase carving tools.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Croma and Current - Advanced Watercolour - Fall 2026 (26 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alesha Buczny - Croma and Current - Advanced Watercolour&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisite:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;An understanding of Watercolor and Drawing&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;In the advance watercolor we are going to practice many basic watercolor techniques and incorporating Color Theory concepts into our projects: Complementary, Secondary, Monochromatic, Analogues, warm, cool, high , and low intensity colors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be focusing on Composition and how to use your own images and create your own artwork.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be learning about adding different textures by playing with many techniques like salt, alcohol, stamping, plastic wrap, sgraffito, transfers, ink, and gouache resist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colors recommended to add to your pallet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;

    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Quinacridone Rose or Permanent Rose&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

We will be using this with India Ink for a resist Piece&lt;/td&gt;

      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;Small bottle of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Black Indian Ink or Black Chinese Ink&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

      <title>Pelvic Floor Exercise Class (28 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seated Yoga for Pelvic Health&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Our pelvic health is a powerful, whole-body system - it doesn't work in isolation. It is linked to our feet, hips, core and jaw - as well as how we move &amp;amp; breathe each day. We can improve our pelvic floor function at any age!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
These yoga classes will incorporate gentle movement, breathing exercises along with pelvic floor awareness while seated or standing &amp;amp; using the chair for support. We will also use the wall for some additional supported movements. This pelvic health session provides a comfortable environment where each individual can participate at their own level.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Props needed:&lt;/strong&gt; Yoga mat, 2 yoga blocks, folded blanket&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructor:&lt;/strong&gt; Val Spak&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Woodcarvers - Fall 2026 (29 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;Summary&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is no instructor. The club members choose a common project and share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques. The group will lend you some tools to try out during the introduction but each participants must have their own tools. At a minimum, a sharp woodcarving knife is needed. Wear work clothes. An apron to catch the wood shavings is useful.&amp;nbsp; A fee is charged for rough wood cutouts. Club members, both men and women, range in skill from beginner and up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INSTRUCTOR:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;There is no instructor; members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A sharp woodcarving knife.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OPTIONAL:&lt;/strong&gt; Cut-Resistant gloves, woodcarving gouges, V-tools, and files are used by members.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLOTHING:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Work clothes and apron.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEVEL&lt;/strong&gt;: From beginner and up.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDITIONAL FEES:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; Fee charged for rough wood cutout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Description&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Wood Carving Club members enjoy carving a variety of subjects including birds, animals, plants and caricatures in the round and in relief. Carving are normally made from basswood which is relatively easy to work with sharp hand tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The group choose a common project and arranges the bulk purchases of basswood in order to share the cost between members. The bulk bassword is converted into rough cutout for the project by one of the members using a bandsaw. Members can choose to complete the common project or work on a project of their own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Carvers work on their projects while seated at a table. Wearing a shop apron is a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some members may complete more than one carving as each member works at their own pace. Carvings can be completed with just a sharp carving knife; however the addition of a woodcarving gouge and files can be useful. Over time, most carvers add other woodcarving tools such as cut-resistant gloves, additional gouges and V-tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Completed carving can be printed, sealed with a clear sealant or left unfinished. A burning tool can also be used to accent the woodcarving. Some carvers use sandpaper to finish the carving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Step-by-step instructions is not provided. However, members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques and will advise beginners on carving tool selection, sharpening and usage. Since a number of members are completing the same carving project there is ample opportunity to observe the carving process at different stages and in different styles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the best ways to learn woodcarving is to observe others completing a woodcarving and to attempt a carving yourself. If you have woodcarving tools, bring them along. Members will also be happy to provide information on where to purchase carving tools.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Seated Yoga - Monday - Fall 2026 (2 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Instructor: Gina Komanac&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alesha Buczny - Croma and Current - Advanced Watercolour&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisite:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;An understanding of Watercolor and Drawing&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;In the advance watercolor we are going to practice many basic watercolor techniques and incorporating Color Theory concepts into our projects: Complementary, Secondary, Monochromatic, Analogues, warm, cool, high , and low intensity colors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be focusing on Composition and how to use your own images and create your own artwork.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be learning about adding different textures by playing with many techniques like salt, alcohol, stamping, plastic wrap, sgraffito, transfers, ink, and gouache resist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colors recommended to add to your pallet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Gamboge Yellow&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Quinacridone Rose or Permanent Rose&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Purple Lake&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sap Green&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Hookers Green&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Turquoise&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

  &lt;/tbody&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other Materials&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;One tube of Windsor Newton/Cotman&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;White Gouache&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;(used just like watercolor paint) its opaque rather than transparent. We will be using this with India Ink for a resist Piece&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;Small bottle of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Black Indian Ink or Black Chinese Ink&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

      <title>Pelvic Floor Exercise Class (4 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seated Yoga for Pelvic Health&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Our pelvic health is a powerful, whole-body system - it doesn't work in isolation. It is linked to our feet, hips, core and jaw - as well as how we move &amp;amp; breathe each day. We can improve our pelvic floor function at any age!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
These yoga classes will incorporate gentle movement, breathing exercises along with pelvic floor awareness while seated or standing &amp;amp; using the chair for support. We will also use the wall for some additional supported movements. This pelvic health session provides a comfortable environment where each individual can participate at their own level.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Props needed:&lt;/strong&gt; Yoga mat, 2 yoga blocks, folded blanket&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructor:&lt;/strong&gt; Val Spak&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Woodcarvers - Fall 2026 (5 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;Summary&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is no instructor. The club members choose a common project and share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques. The group will lend you some tools to try out during the introduction but each participants must have their own tools. At a minimum, a sharp woodcarving knife is needed. Wear work clothes. An apron to catch the wood shavings is useful.&amp;nbsp; A fee is charged for rough wood cutouts. Club members, both men and women, range in skill from beginner and up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INSTRUCTOR:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;There is no instructor; members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A sharp woodcarving knife.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OPTIONAL:&lt;/strong&gt; Cut-Resistant gloves, woodcarving gouges, V-tools, and files are used by members.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLOTHING:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Work clothes and apron.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEVEL&lt;/strong&gt;: From beginner and up.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDITIONAL FEES:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; Fee charged for rough wood cutout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Description&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Wood Carving Club members enjoy carving a variety of subjects including birds, animals, plants and caricatures in the round and in relief. Carving are normally made from basswood which is relatively easy to work with sharp hand tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The group choose a common project and arranges the bulk purchases of basswood in order to share the cost between members. The bulk bassword is converted into rough cutout for the project by one of the members using a bandsaw. Members can choose to complete the common project or work on a project of their own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Carvers work on their projects while seated at a table. Wearing a shop apron is a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some members may complete more than one carving as each member works at their own pace. Carvings can be completed with just a sharp carving knife; however the addition of a woodcarving gouge and files can be useful. Over time, most carvers add other woodcarving tools such as cut-resistant gloves, additional gouges and V-tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Completed carving can be printed, sealed with a clear sealant or left unfinished. A burning tool can also be used to accent the woodcarving. Some carvers use sandpaper to finish the carving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Step-by-step instructions is not provided. However, members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques and will advise beginners on carving tool selection, sharpening and usage. Since a number of members are completing the same carving project there is ample opportunity to observe the carving process at different stages and in different styles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the best ways to learn woodcarving is to observe others completing a woodcarving and to attempt a carving yourself. If you have woodcarving tools, bring them along. Members will also be happy to provide information on where to purchase carving tools.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;We will enjoy dancing to various types of music, including country, pop, Latin, waltz, and some oldies too!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT TO WEAR&lt;/strong&gt;: Wear comfortable, layered clothes and smooth-soled indoor shoes. Bring a water bottle.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Seated Yoga - Monday - Fall 2026 (9 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Instructor: Gina Komanac&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Croma and Current - Advanced Watercolour - Fall 2026 (9 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alesha Buczny - Croma and Current - Advanced Watercolour&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisite:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;An understanding of Watercolor and Drawing&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;In the advance watercolor we are going to practice many basic watercolor techniques and incorporating Color Theory concepts into our projects: Complementary, Secondary, Monochromatic, Analogues, warm, cool, high , and low intensity colors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be focusing on Composition and how to use your own images and create your own artwork.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be learning about adding different textures by playing with many techniques like salt, alcohol, stamping, plastic wrap, sgraffito, transfers, ink, and gouache resist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colors recommended to add to your pallet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Gamboge Yellow&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Quinacridone Rose or Permanent Rose&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Purple Lake&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sap Green&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Hookers Green&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Turquoise&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Indigo&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Indian Red&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other Materials&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;One tube of Windsor Newton/Cotman&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;White Gouache&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;(used just like watercolor paint) its opaque rather than transparent. We will be using this with India Ink for a resist Piece&lt;/td&gt;

      <title>Woodcarvers - Fall 2026 (12 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;Summary&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is no instructor. The club members choose a common project and share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques. The group will lend you some tools to try out during the introduction but each participants must have their own tools. At a minimum, a sharp woodcarving knife is needed. Wear work clothes. An apron to catch the wood shavings is useful.&amp;nbsp; A fee is charged for rough wood cutouts. Club members, both men and women, range in skill from beginner and up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INSTRUCTOR:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;There is no instructor; members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A sharp woodcarving knife.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OPTIONAL:&lt;/strong&gt; Cut-Resistant gloves, woodcarving gouges, V-tools, and files are used by members.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLOTHING:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Work clothes and apron.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEVEL&lt;/strong&gt;: From beginner and up.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDITIONAL FEES:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; Fee charged for rough wood cutout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Description&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Wood Carving Club members enjoy carving a variety of subjects including birds, animals, plants and caricatures in the round and in relief. Carving are normally made from basswood which is relatively easy to work with sharp hand tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The group choose a common project and arranges the bulk purchases of basswood in order to share the cost between members. The bulk bassword is converted into rough cutout for the project by one of the members using a bandsaw. Members can choose to complete the common project or work on a project of their own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Carvers work on their projects while seated at a table. Wearing a shop apron is a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some members may complete more than one carving as each member works at their own pace. Carvings can be completed with just a sharp carving knife; however the addition of a woodcarving gouge and files can be useful. Over time, most carvers add other woodcarving tools such as cut-resistant gloves, additional gouges and V-tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Completed carving can be printed, sealed with a clear sealant or left unfinished. A burning tool can also be used to accent the woodcarving. Some carvers use sandpaper to finish the carving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Step-by-step instructions is not provided. However, members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques and will advise beginners on carving tool selection, sharpening and usage. Since a number of members are completing the same carving project there is ample opportunity to observe the carving process at different stages and in different styles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the best ways to learn woodcarving is to observe others completing a woodcarving and to attempt a carving yourself. If you have woodcarving tools, bring them along. Members will also be happy to provide information on where to purchase carving tools.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Seated Yoga - Monday - Fall 2026 (16 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Instructor: Gina Komanac&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Croma and Current - Advanced Watercolour - Fall 2026 (16 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alesha Buczny - Croma and Current - Advanced Watercolour&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisite:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;An understanding of Watercolor and Drawing&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;In the advance watercolor we are going to practice many basic watercolor techniques and incorporating Color Theory concepts into our projects: Complementary, Secondary, Monochromatic, Analogues, warm, cool, high , and low intensity colors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be focusing on Composition and how to use your own images and create your own artwork.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be learning about adding different textures by playing with many techniques like salt, alcohol, stamping, plastic wrap, sgraffito, transfers, ink, and gouache resist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colors recommended to add to your pallet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Gamboge Yellow&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Quinacridone Rose or Permanent Rose&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Purple Lake&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td valign="top" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sap Green&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

      <title>Pelvic Floor Exercise Class (18 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seated Yoga for Pelvic Health&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Our pelvic health is a powerful, whole-body system - it doesn't work in isolation. It is linked to our feet, hips, core and jaw - as well as how we move &amp;amp; breathe each day. We can improve our pelvic floor function at any age!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
These yoga classes will incorporate gentle movement, breathing exercises along with pelvic floor awareness while seated or standing &amp;amp; using the chair for support. We will also use the wall for some additional supported movements. This pelvic health session provides a comfortable environment where each individual can participate at their own level.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Props needed:&lt;/strong&gt; Yoga mat, 2 yoga blocks, folded blanket&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructor:&lt;/strong&gt; Val Spak&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Woodcarvers - Fall 2026 (19 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;Summary&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is no instructor. The club members choose a common project and share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques. The group will lend you some tools to try out during the introduction but each participants must have their own tools. At a minimum, a sharp woodcarving knife is needed. Wear work clothes. An apron to catch the wood shavings is useful.&amp;nbsp; A fee is charged for rough wood cutouts. Club members, both men and women, range in skill from beginner and up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INSTRUCTOR:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;There is no instructor; members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A sharp woodcarving knife.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OPTIONAL:&lt;/strong&gt; Cut-Resistant gloves, woodcarving gouges, V-tools, and files are used by members.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLOTHING:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Work clothes and apron.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEVEL&lt;/strong&gt;: From beginner and up.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDITIONAL FEES:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; Fee charged for rough wood cutout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Description&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Wood Carving Club members enjoy carving a variety of subjects including birds, animals, plants and caricatures in the round and in relief. Carving are normally made from basswood which is relatively easy to work with sharp hand tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The group choose a common project and arranges the bulk purchases of basswood in order to share the cost between members. The bulk bassword is converted into rough cutout for the project by one of the members using a bandsaw. Members can choose to complete the common project or work on a project of their own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Carvers work on their projects while seated at a table. Wearing a shop apron is a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some members may complete more than one carving as each member works at their own pace. Carvings can be completed with just a sharp carving knife; however the addition of a woodcarving gouge and files can be useful. Over time, most carvers add other woodcarving tools such as cut-resistant gloves, additional gouges and V-tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Completed carving can be printed, sealed with a clear sealant or left unfinished. A burning tool can also be used to accent the woodcarving. Some carvers use sandpaper to finish the carving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Step-by-step instructions is not provided. However, members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques and will advise beginners on carving tool selection, sharpening and usage. Since a number of members are completing the same carving project there is ample opportunity to observe the carving process at different stages and in different styles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the best ways to learn woodcarving is to observe others completing a woodcarving and to attempt a carving yourself. If you have woodcarving tools, bring them along. Members will also be happy to provide information on where to purchase carving tools.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Whether you are experienced or just curious, this course is designed to build confidence, spark creativity and bring joy to your Fridays!&lt;br&gt;
All references will be based on painted images and handouts(no physical still live objects needed). Materials are provided&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Seated Yoga - Monday - Fall 2026 (23 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Instructor: Gina Komanac&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisite:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;An understanding of Watercolor and Drawing&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;In the advance watercolor we are going to practice many basic watercolor techniques and incorporating Color Theory concepts into our projects: Complementary, Secondary, Monochromatic, Analogues, warm, cool, high , and low intensity colors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be focusing on Composition and how to use your own images and create your own artwork.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be learning about adding different textures by playing with many techniques like salt, alcohol, stamping, plastic wrap, sgraffito, transfers, ink, and gouache resist.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Pelvic Floor Exercise Class (25 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seated Yoga for Pelvic Health&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Our pelvic health is a powerful, whole-body system - it doesn't work in isolation. It is linked to our feet, hips, core and jaw - as well as how we move &amp;amp; breathe each day. We can improve our pelvic floor function at any age!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
These yoga classes will incorporate gentle movement, breathing exercises along with pelvic floor awareness while seated or standing &amp;amp; using the chair for support. We will also use the wall for some additional supported movements. This pelvic health session provides a comfortable environment where each individual can participate at their own level.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Props needed:&lt;/strong&gt; Yoga mat, 2 yoga blocks, folded blanket&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructor:&lt;/strong&gt; Val Spak&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Woodcarvers - Fall 2026 (26 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;Summary&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is no instructor. The club members choose a common project and share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques. The group will lend you some tools to try out during the introduction but each participants must have their own tools. At a minimum, a sharp woodcarving knife is needed. Wear work clothes. An apron to catch the wood shavings is useful.&amp;nbsp; A fee is charged for rough wood cutouts. Club members, both men and women, range in skill from beginner and up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INSTRUCTOR:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;There is no instructor; members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A sharp woodcarving knife.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OPTIONAL:&lt;/strong&gt; Cut-Resistant gloves, woodcarving gouges, V-tools, and files are used by members.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLOTHING:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Work clothes and apron.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEVEL&lt;/strong&gt;: From beginner and up.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDITIONAL FEES:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; Fee charged for rough wood cutout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Description&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Wood Carving Club members enjoy carving a variety of subjects including birds, animals, plants and caricatures in the round and in relief. Carving are normally made from basswood which is relatively easy to work with sharp hand tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The group choose a common project and arranges the bulk purchases of basswood in order to share the cost between members. The bulk bassword is converted into rough cutout for the project by one of the members using a bandsaw. Members can choose to complete the common project or work on a project of their own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Carvers work on their projects while seated at a table. Wearing a shop apron is a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some members may complete more than one carving as each member works at their own pace. Carvings can be completed with just a sharp carving knife; however the addition of a woodcarving gouge and files can be useful. Over time, most carvers add other woodcarving tools such as cut-resistant gloves, additional gouges and V-tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Completed carving can be printed, sealed with a clear sealant or left unfinished. A burning tool can also be used to accent the woodcarving. Some carvers use sandpaper to finish the carving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Step-by-step instructions is not provided. However, members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques and will advise beginners on carving tool selection, sharpening and usage. Since a number of members are completing the same carving project there is ample opportunity to observe the carving process at different stages and in different styles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the best ways to learn woodcarving is to observe others completing a woodcarving and to attempt a carving yourself. If you have woodcarving tools, bring them along. Members will also be happy to provide information on where to purchase carving tools.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;In the advance watercolor we are going to practice many basic watercolor techniques and incorporating Color Theory concepts into our projects: Complementary, Secondary, Monochromatic, Analogues, warm, cool, high , and low intensity colors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be focusing on Composition and how to use your own images and create your own artwork.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;We will be learning about adding different textures by playing with many techniques like salt, alcohol, stamping, plastic wrap, sgraffito, transfers, ink, and gouache resist.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Pelvic Floor Exercise Class (2 Dec 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seated Yoga for Pelvic Health&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Our pelvic health is a powerful, whole-body system - it doesn't work in isolation. It is linked to our feet, hips, core and jaw - as well as how we move &amp;amp; breathe each day. We can improve our pelvic floor function at any age!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
These yoga classes will incorporate gentle movement, breathing exercises along with pelvic floor awareness while seated or standing &amp;amp; using the chair for support. We will also use the wall for some additional supported movements. This pelvic health session provides a comfortable environment where each individual can participate at their own level.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Props needed:&lt;/strong&gt; Yoga mat, 2 yoga blocks, folded blanket&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructor:&lt;/strong&gt; Val Spak&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Woodcarvers - Fall 2026 (3 Dec 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;Summary&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is no instructor. The club members choose a common project and share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques. The group will lend you some tools to try out during the introduction but each participants must have their own tools. At a minimum, a sharp woodcarving knife is needed. Wear work clothes. An apron to catch the wood shavings is useful.&amp;nbsp; A fee is charged for rough wood cutouts. Club members, both men and women, range in skill from beginner and up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INSTRUCTOR:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;There is no instructor; members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A sharp woodcarving knife.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OPTIONAL:&lt;/strong&gt; Cut-Resistant gloves, woodcarving gouges, V-tools, and files are used by members.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLOTHING:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Work clothes and apron.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LEVEL&lt;/strong&gt;: From beginner and up.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDITIONAL FEES:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; Fee charged for rough wood cutout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Description&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Wood Carving Club members enjoy carving a variety of subjects including birds, animals, plants and caricatures in the round and in relief. Carving are normally made from basswood which is relatively easy to work with sharp hand tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The group choose a common project and arranges the bulk purchases of basswood in order to share the cost between members. The bulk bassword is converted into rough cutout for the project by one of the members using a bandsaw. Members can choose to complete the common project or work on a project of their own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Carvers work on their projects while seated at a table. Wearing a shop apron is a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some members may complete more than one carving as each member works at their own pace. Carvings can be completed with just a sharp carving knife; however the addition of a woodcarving gouge and files can be useful. Over time, most carvers add other woodcarving tools such as cut-resistant gloves, additional gouges and V-tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Completed carving can be printed, sealed with a clear sealant or left unfinished. A burning tool can also be used to accent the woodcarving. Some carvers use sandpaper to finish the carving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Step-by-step instructions is not provided. However, members share woodcarving ideas, methods and techniques and will advise beginners on carving tool selection, sharpening and usage. Since a number of members are completing the same carving project there is ample opportunity to observe the carving process at different stages and in different styles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the best ways to learn woodcarving is to observe others completing a woodcarving and to attempt a carving yourself. If you have woodcarving tools, bring them along. Members will also be happy to provide information on where to purchase carving tools.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. Great fun for all!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This chair yoga follows the Hatha Yoga style. The Hatha Yoga style introduce gentle stretches, deep breathing, relaxation, meditation and limbering of the joints. Hatha yoga can really help benefit students with all movement including focus on back/core strengthening. The balancing standing poses can help prevent injury. Stretches' with ankles, knees and hip help with mobility and greater flexibility. The standing poses for seniors help with balance and better mobility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
