your skin from wrinkling and flowers from

Kids love to play in it,
wars have been fought
over it. Three quarters of
the earth is covered with
it. Some believe it cleanses
the soul & purifies the mind. What is it? It’s WATER & it’s also what
makes swimming unique in the world of sports & physical fitness. Students in this class will learn the basics of swimming.
Treading water, floating, and finally the complete freestyle stroke
will be learned. This class is for you if you have never swam before,
have tried to swim in the past, but without success, or you can swim
a little but want to improve your skills. (Haven’t you said or heard, “I

CROSS COUNTRY SKIING
Cross-country skiing is easy, especially under the experienced
guidance of top-notch instructors. Even if you’ve never been on
skis, you can enjoy the experience of gliding over the snow with
a speed that is both surprising & exhilarating. This type of skiing
was used as far back as the Vikings in Scandinavia. It’s been used
as a means of transportation in Europe during the winter & has
become increasingly popular in the United States during the last
ten years. Cross-country skiing is a great winter sport for city
dwellers. It gets you out of your house or apartment, allows you
to take advantage of the parks & forest preserves, and it’s great
exercise. It is also becoming an alternative to winter runningproviding the same type of exercise with the added advantage of
keeping you warm. It is a sport which exercises your whole body
while keeping your heart rate at a consistent level. This class is
“geared for both beginners & people who have some skiing experience”. The trip includes roundtrip transportation (with complimentary coffee and donuts before you start out) & ski fees
(including lesson). The bus trip takes about an hour, so most of
your day will be spent at the club. Bring lunch or purchase one
at the club’s cafeteria or restaurant. Rental of equipment comes to
$10, including skis, poles & shoes. Don’t get cabin fever this
winter. Get out, keep in shape, meet new friends & enjoy the city.

Blackjack is one of the best games in the casino because the odds
between the player and the house are almost 50-50. Yet many
players make mistakes that push the odds heavily in favor of the
house. If you’re tired of getting beat because you don’t know
whether to hit a 16 or when to double down, let an experienced
Blackjack player guide you through the game. This class teaches
you how to play a perfect Blackjack strategy, which gives you a

NLP: THE NEW TECHNOLOGY OF
ACHIEVEMENT
Open new doors to achievement and success, put NLP in
action for yourself. NLP has already helped millions of
people overcome fears, increase confidence, resolve
conflicts, enrich relationships and achieve greater
success than they thought
possible. Learn to:
• Make your goals
irresistible
• Motivate yourself
instantly
• Change your feelings
in seconds
• Resolve inner conflicts
• Eliminate fears, even if they are from years ago
• Create a new self image & blueprint for success
Answer these questions & find out. Do you have a clear
and definite image of what you want? Are you easily distracted from your goals or dreams? Do fearful feelings
sometimes get in the way of what you want? Have negative
moods or emotions held you back? Have inner conflicts
ever stopped you from taking action?
If you answered “yes” to even one question, you owe it
to yourself to learn more about NLP.
NLP is the new technology of achievement that you do for
yourself with immediate results. CHANGE YOUR
THOUGHTS, FEELINGS & ACTIONS. Michael Lavin,

manage your physical and emotional pain through the
proven methods of hypnosis. “Hidden in the unconscious
mind is the reason for and meaning of the pain,” said Dr.
Stone. “If I help clients discover the reason or meaning
behind their pain, often patients cure themselves.” Hypnosis can also help the immune system fight diseases such as
cancer and AIDS, and, of course, hypnosis helps the nervous system offset the harmful effects of stress. You can use
hypnosis to allay the fears of an impending surgery, medical
test or childbirth. Discover why hypnosis is one very effective way to maintain your mental and physical health. Dr. Jay

SHIATTSU MASSA
MASSAGE
Shiatsu is Japanese for “finger pressure;” it is a type of
alternative medicine consisting of finger and palm pressure, stretches, and other massage techniques. Shiatsu
massage is different in that it’s performed with thumbs,
elbows, and knees in addition to your hands. It also combines massage with yoga-like positions during the course
of the treatment to make it more of a holistic massage. The
benefit of Shiatsu is that it helps people relax and cope with
issues such as stress, muscle pain, nausea, anxiety, and
depression. There are two main Shiatsu schools: one
incorporating elements of western anatomical and physiological theory, and the other based of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Shiatsu is performed on a mat on the floor
fully clothed. Class will include live demonstration, discussion, and lots of supervised practice. Please wear
loose fitting clothing and bring 2 towels and 2 sheets. No
prerequisite. Material fee $10 Adina Rosenberg, see class

OFFEEMATING
Connecting Through Circulating
& Percolating. This exclusive
event was developed by Gail
Prince, critically acclaimed author, speaker and relationship
expert sharing her Ten Commandments for first coffee dates.
By showing how to be approachable, use verbal and non-verbal love signals and engage
in small talk, coffee daters are able to circulate and percolate with
greater ease during this provocative evening. CoffeeMating is a
series of on-going, fast, FIVE minute one-to-one exchanges or
“mini dates.” Throughout the evening, men and women pair off,
talk for a short, limited time, and then “snowball” and move on to
the next potential “date.” Some call it romantic musical chairs,
and others call it speed-dating. After each date, coffee daters fill in
a “yes” or “no” on their date cards. If the attraction is mutual, a
match is made. CoffeeMating is an organized, low pressure setting that appeals to many weary of bars and large social events. It
eliminates the awkwardness of asking for a telephone number or
feeling pressure to give a number, and it provides a sure-fire way
to meet many people in a short period of time. CoffeeMating gives
new meaning to the expression, “Let’s meet over a cup of coffee!”
Facilitator: Sarah Pickett. Coffee Mating takes place at Cosi coffee
house and sandwich bar. Cosi, which stands for comfortable,
friendly, and of course, cozy, is the perfect sophisticated atmosphere for CoffeeMating. Located at 230 W. Washington (corner
of Washington and Franklin). After 6 p.m. some street parking,
self-parking garage next to Cosi.

“SECRET CHIC
CHICAAGO
GO”” TOUR
Take a tour of the wild and lesser known side of Chicago. You will
have the opportunity to see the parts of Chicago that those in the
know would prefer you not see. Visit the cheap, but unique dives
and the more colorful emporiums of entertainment. See the dark
and forbidden side that the City of Big Shoulders supports, hidden in the shadows and the backways, places not included in the
conventional cultural tours. Each tour is different and may provide the chance to dabble with pagans and magicians, dally with
fetishists and get friendly with the non-conformists who never
make it into the regular tours. Your guide will open the doors
normally locked to those without the right connections to get in.
This is the Chicago you will have to see to believe, because unless
you’re seeking out the obscure, you won’t read or hear about it
without your guide to its wild side. Time does not always permit
leisurely food stops, so it’s recommended that you eat beforehand.

INTRODUCTION TO SHORT STORY
WRITING
GOT A STORY TO TELL? Maybe you need help fleshing out that
initial idea into a full plot. Looking for input from other writers? Or
you are already writing stories and need to know how to market
them. This workshop will guide you from initial idea to finished
story. The class is designed so that after the four weeks, you can
have a completed manuscript that is ready for submission. Topics covered include:
• Generating story ideas
• Outlining and outline revision
• Writing a draft • Draft review and revision
• Marketing a story
The most destructive myth a beginning writer can believe is that
writing is a solitary art. Workshops provide the feedback needed
to improve one’s work. The most difficult obstacle most writers
face is the initial risk of sharing their work with other people. This
class is specifically designed for beginning writers so that no one
has to worry about being “good enough.” We all have to start
somewhere but you don’t need to start alone. Michael Penkas
has been writing short stories for 20 years but only began
getting published 5 years ago after he began attending workshops and reading events. Finding a writer’s community
has been invaluable to improving his own work and he
wants to offer new writers steps to finding and forming
their own communities. Material Fee: $10.

WRITER’S GROUP
Writing doesn’t need to be a solitary practice. Sharing ideas with
other writers is essential to improving ones’s work. The Discovery Center hosts a weekly writers’ group where writers of all skill
levels can meet and exchange ideas on the art of storytelling. Bring
your own issues, concerns and ideas, each meeting’s agenda is
open and determined by the group but will be facilitated and led
by a published writer. Facilitator: Michael Penkas

theater, etc, you MUST have a professional head shot. Agents will
not register you, & casting directors generally will not see you if
your head shots don’t measure up. The “look “must be right for
YOU. The wrong head shot can cost you hundreds of wasted
dollars. In this seminar you will study hundreds of actual head
shots, & learn how to get an excellent head shot for yourself.
