It is no mystery why so many people love the fall. The cool, crisp mornings, the twilight times, the back to school feeling – even for those of us who haven’t been in traditional school for a while! This session, Community Education is celebrating the season with the theme “Fall into a Good Book”.

Authors J.A. Jance, Bruce Bjornstad, Dennis Dauble, Marian Clish, Renee Pottle, and John Clement will be teaching classes relating their experiences and sharing stories. Several travel, art, cooking, and real life classes also draw inspiration from literary works.

We look forward to sharing these and many other unusual and delightful learning opportunities!

YOU’RE ON THE AIR-HOW TO

MAKE IT IN VOICE-OVERS

Voice-overs are hot today! You don’t need to

be an actor to do them but it doesn't hurt! With

such notable talent as James Earl Jones, Linda

Hunt, and Donald Sutherland doing

commercials, films, and videos one would

think it would be next to impossible to break

into this field. Not so! In this class you’ll get

around the competition and actually turn voice-

overs into a thriving full or part-time business!

Lisa Foster, successful voice-over artist (Crest

Toothpaste, Olay, Café Appassionato), will

demonstrate voice-over techniques and will

introduce you to the business as a whole. She
