Some notes:


1) After reviewing the completed calendar and class description page, we found a few mistakes, so here are the updated links:

http://derekgoodwin.com/downloads/NOFSN_Jan_2012_Calendar.pdf
http://derekgoodwin.com/downloads/NOFSN_Jan_2012_Class_Info.pdf

Some of the calendars being posted around town may not have these updates on them.

2) Some corrections that need to be highlighted:


*Intro to Harm Reduction will be taking place at the LGBT Community Center at 2114 Decatur Street
*Sew Hip NOLA will be taking place at the Latter Branch of the library at 5120 St. Charles Ave, not the Argonne Blvd address, which is a different library
*Computer Classes at the Community Center of St. Bernard need to be registered for after 9 AM (not PM) on January 2nd


2) The blogspot now also has an updated "calendar" and "current classes" page. Just click on either of these links at the top of this page.


Some reminders:


1) Several of the classes this semester require pre-registration. These include:


*Computer Classes at the Community Center of St. Bernard (by January 2nd after 9 AM)
*Computer Literacy at Resurrection After Exoneration
*Microsoft Office PowerPoint Levels 1 & 2 at the Main Library
*ACT Strategies Workshop at the Main Library
*All-Ages Knitting at Community Book Center
*Reading for Radicals at Community Book Center

CLASS PROPOSALS DUE DECEMBER 15th!!!

We are sorry for the short notice, but there has been some shuffling about with the organizers, and we have decided that class proposals will be due on the 15th of EVERY MONTH, including this one. A more advanced notice will be given in the future, we promise.

As for this class proposal due date, please know that if you propose a class, it will be for the JANUARY SEMESTER. That is, we will have a new calendar printed by December 20th that will display classes for the month of January. Your class does not have to exist only in the month of January. It can go on as long as you like, just let us know so we can continue to display it on the following months' respective calendars.

Our goal is to have at least 10 classes proposed by December 15th! If you need any help at all in finding/securing a location for your class, accessing material resources for your class, advertising your class, or teaching your class, please let us know, and we will be more than happy to help.

Thanks y'all! Stay warm, stay free!
