BEGINNING SWIMMING
Two thirds of your body is made of it. It keeps your skin from
wrinkling and flowers from wilting. You wash with it, drink it and
cook with it. 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. WATER is what makes
swimming unique in the world of sports & physical fitness. In this
class 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 can swim but
I can’t breathe!”) John Sencion Additional Facility Fee: $50 (for

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
fighting chance against the house. We also cover card counting,
which can actually push the odds in your favor, discuss table
etiquette, and even play a few hands in class. Mat fee: $15

Are your children safe on the Internet? Are they neglecting homework, normal social interaction and healthy physical activities in
favor of computer games and Facebook? Computers, Internet

children incredible access to a world of information and social
interaction. At the same time, they expose them to dangerous
predators, pornography, identity thieves, viruses and worms.
These threats aside, your children may waste valuable time that
could have been used studying or doing activities that are socially
and physically healthy. This course will show how to enjoy the
benefits of computer use for you and your family while providing
powerful strategies to protect them. There will be time for specific

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

TRACT
Have you ever seen a beautiful woman you wanted to meet but you
just didn’t know what to say or do? Ever feared that if you walk up
and say “hi” she’d just blow you off? Since asking “what’s your
sign?” won’t cut it, this course introduces men to the art of “social
dynamics” and sexual self-confidence. You’ll learn to avoid common pitfalls and instead approach women successfully, establish
rapport, spark attraction and arrange a date. Break through selflimiting beliefs, like “women don’t go for men who don’t have
money” or “older or balding men can’t get hot girls.” If you hope
to overcome shyness around women, improve your dating options, and find yourself an amazing lover then sign up today

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 ongoing, 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. CoffeeMating
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.
