Spring semester classes and activities are happening each day for New Frontiers members.
The open house, on Jan. 27, at our new location, 145 N. Centennial Way, was very well attended, with 48 people becoming new members. After paying $50, they registered for as many classes as their schedules would allow. Classes include armchair travels, history, spirituality, art and music. Classes also are available in science, money matters, sign language, well-being, computer things and discussion groups.
A few classes still have room for new registrants, but many are full, with waiting lists. Activities in which to participate include excursions, movies and once-a-month lunch at a different restaurant. There also are performances at the Theatre Outback on the Dobson campus at Mesa Community College. New Frontiers members can obtain tickets for the Theatre Outback performances at student rates with their student ID cards. For information on performances, go to their Web site at www.mesacc.edu/dept/d55/thp. The student ID cards can be used for discounts on campus and in the Mesa community.
Classes and activities take place on the Mesa Community College campuses at Southern Avenue and Dobson Road, the Red Mountain location, at McKellips and Power roads, and the Downtown location, at 145 N. Centennial Way, at both active adult centers, at 247 N. Macdonald St. and 7550 E. Adobe Road, as well as several other locations.
New Frontiers members can enjoy lunch at the active adult centers for $3 a day, Monday through Friday. Reservations are required by noon the day before. Call (480) 218-2221 at the Red Mountain location, and (480) 962-5612 at the Macdonald Street location.
