Felted Soap
with Carolyn Bender
This is a fun class that doesn't require any special skills! You will make a felted bar of soap using simple wet felting and needle felting techniques with wool to create an all-in-one soap and washcloth. Felted soap has many benefits over a separate bar of soap, washcloth or scrubby. Because felted soap is encased in a felted wool covering, the soap lasts longer, is easier to handle, wool has exfoliating properties and is naturally antimicrobial. It's a fun way to bring decorative flair in your bathroom or kitchen too! We will be working with water so bring a towel. Supplies are included however bring your favorite bar of soap

Maximizing Your Social Security
with Jess Ryan
Social Security is an extremely complex pension system with numerous rules and nuances. It is not necessarily the job of the Social Security Administration to help you decide upon the best strategy for you and your family; they generally just do what you tell them without providing you with advice. This class will educate you on the potential benefits of deferring your Social Security and also provide claiming strategies for those of you who are married, divorced, or widowed. You'll also learn how to avoid costly mistakes and how to maximize your benefit. Jess Ryan is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®.
