Quilling is an art form that uses strips of precut paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. We will begin with the basics: learning to roll the paper coils and how to mold the coils into shapes. Then you are ready to begin creating the beautifully detailed designs that quilling is known for. The class fee is $35 per student for tools and supplies payable to the facilitator.

This class is based on using Gmail in a browser window but some of what will be covered is applicable to the Gmail app.

Figuring out how to evaluate Medicare drug plans each year can be challenging but can also save significant money. Don’t overpay for your plan! The class will review how they work, how to evaluate the best plan for you and how to independently easily sign up for a new plan!

Prescott Valley is growing at a phenomenal pace and is made up of transplants from across the U.S. There's a surprising amount to know about the area: its history, geography, government and recreation. There's a lot that sets it apart from, and ties to, the neighbor up the highway. We'll have a guest speaker from the Town government (yes; it's a town, not a city, and we'll go over what that means), an overview from a local history expert and lots of good-to-know practicalities.

Let us take a look at women who have impacted the history of the United States.
