December 2013 Holiday Term Classes and Workshops Dec. 2 – 21, 2013

Welcome to the December 2013 Holiday Term. Some points to help you navigate the choices: 1) The classes below are ordered from beginning to advanced. 2) Some classes meet just once (workshops); others meet multiple times. All meeting dates and total hours are listed for each class. If a book title is listed in the “materials” column then that book (or set of books) is required. 3) Students must be Alliance members; think of it as a once- per-year registration fee that gets you access to all the benefits of membership - access to 250 DVDs, discount cards for Alliance partners/restaurants, and more). 4) The holiday term enrollments must be done over the phone, at the office or by email to [email protected]. 5) Pro-rated fees may be available for planned absences. Please contact our office (503.223.8388) to discuss. Listed from Beginning to Advanced CODE 101-INT
