| Hello DEAR Friends! This is the online class schedule for Fall 2020. At this time, we will only be offering two live presentations each week at Penfield Community Center. One will be on Tuesdays from 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM and the other is on Thursdays from 10:00 AM – 11:30 PM. If you would like to attend either program in person you must call 340-8655 option 0 to register. These programs will also be available online. If you would like to attend one of our live programs you will need to adhere to the mandated safety policies that are now in place. Register for the Zoom classes using the links below.
A grab-and-go/curbside pickup lunch prepared in our kitchen will also be available to purchase for $4 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You can order a lunch online or call and place a lunch order up to 24 hours in advance. Unfortunately, we are not ready for folks to stay and have lunch with us at the community center.
Check back often for new classes and updates.
