The cafeteda arC,l was also <br />used for teaching square dancing and ballroom dancing .. and other activities such as physicalfltness classes <br />and health screening. <br /> <br />Classrooms tbr teaching any mnnber of subjects from computer skills to Tai Chi. <br /> <br />An annual arts andcratls sale to help defray costs of the services provided. <br /> <br />Finally, consult with other community centers in the Metra area to find out what has worked and what has not <br />worked to avoid unnecessary expense and headaches. <br /> <br />Thank you for the opportunity to submit suggestions. <br /> <br />Carolyn J.
