Secrets your piano teacher never told you are revealed in this 3-hour workshop. If

learn all the chords needed to play any pop song in this one session: any song, any
style, any key. And you will get a healthy dose of insider secrets. If you already know
your way around a keyboard a little, you know enough to enroll in this workshop. If

The Social Security Conundrum
What you don’t know may shock you. You could be leaving hundreds or thousands of dollars each month on the table. Deciding when to begin drawing Social
Security benefits is not as easy as it was in the past, nor as obvious. Social Security
Administration only names the way to claim with no further explanation on HOW
you can combine claiming and make it part of a retirement strategy. Married
couples are most at risk of losing $$$ from not planning in advance. This class will
highlight planning strategies that can help you determine when and how to collect.
This class is most valuable to those very close to retirement. (Spouses can attend

mini-fig face drawing, a composition featuring
a detailed scorpion will provide plenty of fun
and artistic challenges. Young Rembrandts

Picasso, complete a portrait of Canadian athlete Terry Fox and spend plenty of time being
silly with a funny pterodactyl character drawing. Make this a memorable winter for learning
and fun. All supplies included. Enroll today!
