New Programs at Carnegie

Team,

We are happy to announce that we have 2 new additions to our adult programming:

Knitting and Crochet Classes:

This classes became possible due to Beatriz's successful efforts in finding volunteers to teach these classes. The classes will be available in both English and Spanish.

The schedule for the program:

Every Wednesday, 1-3pm (in SMR)


Healthy Cooking Classes:

As a result of ongoing partnership with Texas A&M, we are now offering free adult nutrition program “Healthy Food, Healthy Families”. This program is a seven session series. Every session has a new meal preparation presentation.  In the end of the program (after attending at least 6 sessions), the participants will be awarded a certificate of completion and a book. Unofficially we call the sessions “Healthy Cooking Classes”, and the first class took place last week on March 6 at 9:15am. 

The schedule for the program:

March 6, March 27, April 3, April 10, April 17, April 24   -     9:15-10:15am
