We will explore three book forms that are easy to make using simple mailing and packaging supplies: envelopes, paper bags and postcards. Each book can also be made with recycled items or memorabilia -- a creative way to protect the planet while preserving memories!

There will be a $3 fee to cover the cost of paper and other materials used, to be collected in the class.

Mahjong is a popular Chinese tile game played at leisure by four people or fewer. It is a relaxed and fun game so players can socialize with their friends while playing. Playing mahjong keeps the mind sharp and active because it involves skills and strategies.

This class is for any level player. Those who have taken previous classes will learn more strategy. There will be plenty of help to get new players caught up with this fun activity.

Classes are Friday, August 12, and Wednesday August 17. 

Dr. Carole Lee and Eddie Yuen will co-lead this class. Carole Lee is an associate professor at UMF. Eddie Yuen is a retired math teacher.

Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative shapes and figures. Eddie loves origami. He volunteers his time at the local Warming Centers and instructs folks in the fine art of folding paper into beautiful and interesting shapes. Eddie's technique includes using scrap paper to make his beauties. Paper that might otherwise be thrown away is used to make lovely and interesting objects. Join us for a fun and interesting session of origami. You do not need to bring paper, but you may if you want.

Eddie Yuen is a retired math teacher.
