Adult (18+) Exercise with Jordan Wheeler 
Fall Term September 9 – October 28, 
Thursdays from noon – 1:00pm via Zoom, 8 sessions

Hi there! My name is Jordan Wheeler and I am a second-year studying Kinesiology (the study of movement). My passions are exercise, art, and helping others 🙂 I have a special place in my heart for adults diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. I am devoted to helping people with autism stay active and feel welcome in the community.

I will be holding an exercise program for adults diagnosed with autism from June 10 – July 22 (no class July 8). This program will contain sport related exercise moves and have a new sports theme each week. The class will be broken into four parts: a warm up, sports themed workout, group game, and cool down. Each week will have fun, new, and challenging exercises for every member of the class to crush. There is no equipment needed, just a positive attitude is recommended 🙂

Jewelry Design with Amanda Finegold
Fall Term September 13 – October 25 (no class October 4)
Mondays from 4:30pm– 6:00pm for 6 sessions, via Zoom

Learn to design and make individualized beaded jewelry bracelets and more. This class is designed to be a fun introduction to a few of the many ways to make jewelry.  We’ll start with bead stringing, move on to some simple macramé, and we’ll end the class by learning about some ancient chain making techniques. These lessons and techniques will help participants become part of a continuum of craftspeople throughout the ages, as we still use basically the same ancient techniques to make our crafts.

Participants will be provided needed supplies, tools and the Zoom link before the sessions begin.

It is with disappointment and sadness that I need to cancel our in-person social skills class and activities until the pandemic subsides. This includes canceling our picnic in my back yard on the 20th. 

For the foreseeable future, we will be meeting virtually on the 3rd Mondays of every month from 6:30 to 8 pm. I will send be ending zoom link prior to our meeting. I hope we can continue to participate in lively discussions on various aspects of socializing and sociability. 

I hope this finds each and every one of you healthy, safe and enjoying the end of summer, despite intermittently foul air.
