WELCOME...

TO FREEPORT ADULT CONTINUING/ COMMUNITY EDUCATION

During my childhood I fell asleep to the sounds of tiles clicking together as my mother hosted her Mah Jongg game in our living room. Today there is a renewed interest in the game and Marilyn First is just the person to teach you. But, even if Mah Jongg is not your forte, there are many great classes to enrich your life. Brush up your tennis game with Daniel Burgess returning with a new location. The Freeport Community Band bade a fond farewell to conductor Dr. Raoul Camus but looks forward to spring with a new conductor. Lifelong learning will keep you alert and healthy. It is a great opportunity to meet people. Please join us.
