Attendees learn about all aspects of financial planning. These topics include personal budgeting, investing, retirement planning, insurance, Social Security/ Medicare, and estate planning. All attendees get a course workbook to guide them and help them plan for the future. At the conclusion of the course, all attendees may receive a complimentary, personalized financial plan developed by the instructor, a Certified Financial Planner. This allows attendees to begin implementing what they learned in the course on an individual basis and adds value that they can carry forward with them. Attendees are not obligated to come to the personal consultation. (Available for teachers for recertification credit, too.)

Spencer Metcalfe, a South Carolina native, comes from a family of financial advisors. He began his career in the financial planning and investment management business in 2006. Previously, he received a BS from USC Upstate and earned an MBA, with a concentration in Finance, through Strayer University. In 2011 he received a Certificate in Financial Planning from Florida State University and not long after received his CFP® certification from the CFP Board.

Learn the basics of sailing, a lifelong sport which knows no gender or age boundaries.

Master the basic theory of how a sailboat works and how you safely and skillfully operate it. Then put your skills into practice at Western Carolina Sail Club on Lake Hartwell. This program utilizes both classroom and on-the-water instruction by a US Sailing certified small boat instructor. Participants must provide their own life jackets, Coast Guard approved Type III. The textbook, Start Sailing Right, may be purchased for $15 at the first class. Minimum #: 4; Maximum #: 8.

Ron Moede began sailing in Wisconsin at 16 years of age and has continued his passion for sailing. His interests include teaching Industrial Technology, photography, and sailing at Wren High School.

If you’ve taken our first class or know the basics of sailing, this class is for YOU. Develop proficiency with tacking, jibing, knots and navigation. Improve and transfer your skill to larger boats. This course consists of classroom and on-thewater instruction, demonstration and practice at Western Carolina Sailing Club.

The instructor, Ron Moede, is a Coast Guard licensed captain and a US Sailing certified instructor. Participants must have their own life jackets, Coast Guard approved Type III. Instructional materials may be purchased for $15 at the first class. Maximum #: 4.

Class 1. Introduction. Getting to know your camera can often be like driving a car you have never seen before. We will learn to transfer images, create folders, and organize the images we make. Class 2. Photography, by definition, “is painting with light.” We will discuss basics about the camera, composition techniques, and visual aspects involving light (natural and artificial), contrast, as well as color and black and white. Class discussion will prepare you to take photographs for class 3 discussion. Class 3. Photo editing. Bring in at least 20 images from your digital camera for discussion. We will talk about fine-tuning what we shot through editing and digital processing and also discuss ways to use images we have created, both personal and commercial. Class 4. Photo commencement. Applying what we have learned, we will find inspiration from other photographers, taking the good parts of images we like and looking for our own style. (Available for teachers for recertification credit, too.)

Suggested Cameras: A digital camera with detachable lens will likely have more options. A camera with manual options (i.e. f-stop lens option, shutter speed options), a basic set up by Canon or Nikon with one lens may cost around $300 and up or other brands. A computer laptop with USB port and ability to view images and a digital card reader (often found for $20 from any box store) may be helpful but not required, too.

This class is designed (a) to cover basic information that all computer users should know and (b) to answer any questions that class members may have about their personal computer use and needs. The four sessions will cover (1) hardware (physical equipment – computers, printers, wireless routers); (2) commonly used software (word processing, the Internet, email, related tasks); (3) security measures (antivirus, malware, safe uses); and (4) basic troubleshooting of problems. Each session will include Q & A time and/or practice time. Each class member will have access to a computer during the class. (Available for teachers for recertification credit, too.)

He continues to help people with computers part-time. His hobbies include reading, spending time with two grandchildren, woodworking, and flying.

If you remember or have heard of the big bands led by names like Goodman, Shaw, Ellington, Miller, Dorsey… If you know of vocalists like Holiday, Sinatra, Lee, Fitzgerald… and even if you don’t but want to know about the fuss in music back in the good old days… or if you just want to sit back and listen to some great sounds and hear facts about people who made those sounds and defined the word, “swing,”… Join us as we journey through the Big Band Era. (Available for teachers for recertification credit, too.)

Dr. Ardy Armen graduated from Cornell University and received his PhD in chemistry at UCLA. He held research and management positions in California; Williamsburg, Virginia; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Enka, NC; and in Anderson, SC. After 40 years of service, he retired from BASF Corporation as a research scientist. His love and interest in music have prepared him to lead this class.

The Vietnam War, the most divisive issue since the Civil War, hit the US political/ military scene in the late 50s and grew to a full uproar in the 60s. It ushered in, or was ushered into, an era of youthful involvement in the national decisions and called attention to the fact that never again would politicians govern unchallenged.

It was a war that even in this day can engender a public debate with everyone holding a passionate opinion and quickly expressing it. This course will examine the events leading to the Vietnam War and the era of protests it spawned at home and abroad. The course will also cover the non-military aspects of the war, such as the changing political climate in the United States during the late 1960s which had a profound impact on the outcome of the struggle, as well as a look at the leadership of the era. (Available for teachers for recertification credit, too.)

Professor Emeritus Pat Mulligan retired in 1999 from Anderson University; she served the ex pat communities abroad in Russia and Turkey before retiring in 2014.

Functional fitness helps seniors adjust better to changes by enhancing their lifestyles and empowering their bodies. Functional fitness is founded upon the five functional movement patterns of the body, the activities of daily living, balance, and flexibility.

Exercise, that is actually functional, is one of the most important interventions that can be done in regards to senior independence and health. Jill states the verse that supports her thinking is ISAIAH 40:29 “HE increaseth strength.”

Jill Bramlett, certified in senior fitness through the American Council on Exercise, designed this course for seniors. “Because of the gap for seniors in exercise and daily living, I used my expertise to develop this course. Come join us! It’s for YOU!” This basic sign course introduces you to the culture of deaf people and their language. It offers you the opportunity to build basic skills in communicating in American Sign Language. This is an overview of American Sign Language (ASL), its
