Free Classes at Chatfield College Courtesy of BB&T

Five personal enrichment classes focusing on health and self-improvement will be offered, including:

• Art Potpourri – Learn to use collage, drawing and other artistic adventures to express creativity.
• Yoga – Learn and experience the benefits of Yoga through breathing practices, postures, and meditation.
• Zumba – Enjoy fitness through dance using a variety of rhythms and dance types.
• Basic First Aid – Learn what to do in case of emergency, including the Heimlich Maneuver and basic CPR, as well as what not to do when someone is injured.
• Managing Personal Finances – Learn to develop and work within a budget, balance a checkbook, record-keeping techniques, and how to avoid wasting money with late fees and interest.

These enrichment classes will meet at Chatfield’s Over-the-Rhine campus, 1544 Central Parkway, on Saturdays for four consecutive weeks: July 16, July 23, July 30, and August 6.  Plentiful parking is available in close proximity to the Chatfield campus.

“We are delighted to offer these free classes to anyone in Over-the-Rhine, neighboring communities, or anyone else who wants to make a trip to OTR on Saturdays this summer.  We are very thankful for the generosity of BB&T,” said Patricia Homan, OSU, Vice-President of Mission & Identity and Site Director for Chatfield’s Over-the-Rhine Campus.  “These classes are both fun and practical, for people of any age or educational level.  All are welcome to participate.”
