Home Maintenance Classes taught by Amy Ecklund owner of AmyWorks

Would you like to learn how to do home maintenance, plumbing, electrical or bathroom remodeling in a relaxed learning environment taught by a woman?  If so, check out the following classes that are being offered by Amy Ecklund owner of AmyWorks at South Seattle Community College.  Another series of classes will be available starting in February although the courses may vary from the ones being taught this session.

If you are like me you may have projects at home that you want help with or don't want to do them yourself.  You can contact AmyWorks to do them for you, teach you how to do them or you can pitch in and help with the project.  I know I prefer to have women in our community do the work when possible.  Ms T.

The weekend's offerings

Wow!  There is a ton one can do this weekend!  You will find a few individual posts to follow on events that are happening today and for the following week.  I will be hitting HotFlash (Neighbours 6-10pm $10) that is sure to be to my liking as I am a huge fan of DJ Wildfire!  She tends to play a great mix of the disco that I prefer and it keeps me on the dance floor.

I hope to stop into hear Shan Ottey spin a few tunes at the World Dance that is a great community event before the evening is over.  Shan does an amazing job and I love the multi-cultural aspect of this event - it is just plain good ole fashioned fun!  The challenge is that there is just too much to do in one evening.  I wish you the best in whatever you decide to do!  Ms T.
