Sign up for a Language Class
It is always the right time to start learning a new language. Our winter session begins the week of January 2, 2012 and lasts 10 weeks. Try a private lesson (take 4, get the 5th one free), group class, or our new Spanish lunch hour class! We can customize these classes to your needs. Click here to see our schedule or to sign up.
Need a gift idea? Give the gift of a language to someone you care about. Contact Michelle to learn about gift certificates.
Host an international student
The Rotary Club of Lancaster is looking for a family to host an 18-year-old male student from Brazil over the winter. Here’s an opportunity to share your holiday traditions! Please contact Jamie Alton at jalton@northmuseum.org or 875-4142 (cell) for additional information or to request an application.
Take advantage of these opportunities and have a multicultural winter this year. Happy Holidays and we’ll see you next year!
