SPRING SEMESTER 2015 • JANUARY - MAY Academic Classes - page 1 • Community Education Classes - page 5 Kids Classes - page 10 • Legal Seminars for Seniors - page 11 Nonprofit Education Initiative - page 12 • Summer Spanish Institute - page 12 Dear Friends, There is a growing body of research on creativity – what it is and how to cultivate it. I believe the answer is actually quite simple. Everyone has creative capacities and creativity blossoms when people are encouraged to try new things and approach challenges in ways that are supportive and forgiving. When we are allowed to try, even though we might fail, incredible things can happen. Creativity is often associated with artistic ability; however, it is more than that. It is about divergent thinking and coming up with new ways of addressing age old problems. It is about taking risks and developing alternative solutions just to see if they work. It is about continually working towards perfection after multiple failures. Certainly, many artists are highly creative, but equally as many people exhibit creativity in the workplace as employees, in schools as students, in the community as advocates, and at home in their roles as parents and caregivers. People from all walks of life exhibit creativity daily, often without seeing themselves as creative. At CSI, we are in the business of helping people try new things so that they can explore their creative capacities. Whether it is through an adult enrichment watercolor class or a college biology class, our goal is to present opportunities for personal growth and development. I encourage you to pursue the offerings in this catalog and see if anything sparks your interest. Take a chance. You never know where it may lead. Sincerely, Hallie Star, M.A. Director, Blaine County Center P.S. The cover of this program guide was painted by Sheila Summers in a beginning watercolor class at the CSI Blaine County Center.

However, we are living longer than we ever have and more and more seniors are becoming concerned about life events that must be planned for, instead of focusing solely on what happens to our assets after death. Often the planning that we should be doing, such as planning for a surviving spouse, planning to deal with long term care issues, planning to help kids or grandkids get a head start, gets ignored by estate planners who are focused only on death. Learn about using powers of attorneys, wills and other tools to plan for life, not just death.
