Welcome!
Happy New Year!
When I think about the start of a new year, I think about new goals
and skills I can gain; it feels like a fresh start. Many of you probably feel
the same way. I want to encourage you to make CLASS a part of your
learning experience in 2016.
This spring, we are offering many popular favorites, as well as some
exciting new courses. As always, you can learn a new cuisine, relax with
Zentangle or yoga, and plan a new landscape for your yard. New this
semester: learn how your home network connects your computer to your
router, make and take some starter essential oils blends, or hike Salinaarea locations with your family.
Another addition for the 2016 year is the “Explore Your Community”
selection of courses. We are excited to partner with local organizations
and businesses and showcase what’s great about Salina through free tours
and informative courses. This semester, we’re offering three tours and one
class. Let us know what you’d like to take a peek at in the future!
There is a great variety of new skills and fun ideas you can learn, featuring some of the best instructors in Salina. Journey through the catalog
with an open mind about what you might discover in the new year. Have
fun learning and growing with others in your community.
In service,

From County
Courthouse to
Salina Senior Center
When it was built in 1911, the threestory Saline County Courthouse was the
pride of the county. By 1969,
NEW!
however, it was deemed too
small and the county moved to the west
part of the City-County Building across
the street. At that point, the old building was being considered for demolition.
After several years, a group of senior
citizens convinced the County Commission to save the building and turn it
into a gathering place for Saline County
seniors. Today, the Salina Senior Center
is home to a variety of senior activities
and programs, and is the location of the
Saline County Commission on Aging
offices. While the first floor was remodeled to accommodate serving lunch, the
upper two floors are much as they were
when the building was the courthouse,
including terrazzo floors, marble walls,
and giant, arching windows. Join us for
a tour of this beautiful building that was
saved from the wrecking ball and put
to good use! All ages are welcome on

supervised practice on your project quilt.
Although this course will not restore
quilts to their original beauty, you will
learn how to keep the quilt from deteriorating further in damaged places.
Quilts should be primarily intact, with
some holes either in the top or bottom
fabric. If you have a quilt in tatters, Mary
recommends cutting it into usable sections and framing with acid-free, ligninfree materials.
Please bring with you your quilt
with worn or frayed sections, very fine
needles, scissors, very fine thread (50+

colored quilts, grey/light brown for dark

Home Brewing 101
During this half-day course, you
will learn the basics of home brewing and discover the variety of beer

After we spend some time sampling
beers and discussing, we’ll do some

we will transfer our cold wort (you’ll

your family during and following your
cancer battle. In Session 2, Dr. Peeran
Sandhu will share about healthy choices which can help to prevent cancer,
including diet, exercise and screenings.

Tai chi is considered a moving meditation and gentle exercise, which originated
in China. It is comprised of slow movement and deep breathing. In addition to

insomnia and high blood pressure. Please

Tai Chi for Health
Enhance your health, healing and
relaxation in this slow and gentle
once-weekly class. Tai chi chuan is a
2,000-year-old form of exercise. Studies
of people who practice tai chi indicate
that it reduces blood pressure and episodes of anxiety and depression, boosts
the immune system, builds bone mass
and improves chronic pain, mobility,
balance and coordination. It also can be
used as a spiritual discipline or moving
meditation. Because it is not aerobic, it
is an excellent class for older adults or
those with health challenges, though
everyone can benefit from tai chi. You
will need to get down on the floor for
some stretches during this class. Please
wear loose, comfortable clothing and
flat-soled shoes.
