DO YOU HAVE A UNIQUE SKILL OR

TALENT AND WOULD LIKE TO

INSTRUCT A CLASS OR PROGRAM?

PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH US . AND LET’S SEE WHAT WE CAN

CREATE TOGETHER!

Autumn is the season when crops and fruits are gathered and leaves begin to fall causing us to create a list of things to be done before winter sets in (some fun and some not-so-fun)… raking leaves, apple picking, going on a hayride or visiting a pumpkin patch to name a few. Why not add signing up for one of our many programs at the RWB Community Center to your list? Visit our website or call the center for further information. You’ll find that there’s something of interest for everyone and we would love for you to join our community!
