Humanity House plans to kick its “classes into gear” with a number of upcoming free workshops, starting this month.
Tracy Keagle, director, announced the classes in a press release.
“Not Your Grandma’s Embroidery” is a class running from 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays, beginning Feb. 15. The class is geared for grown-ups, “will be full of laughs, and let you create something that Grandma probably kept inside her head,” Keagle said.
Immediately following, from 7 to 8, is a basic sewing skills class. Debbie Higginbotham will teach the basics from threading needles, sewing buttons, hemming and mending.
Both classes run through March 8.
Damaris Kunkler will offer “Greasy Chicken Dinner” guitar lessons from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Mondays, beginning Feb. 20.
Kunkler will teach students how to string and tune a guitar, and then show songs all using the G, C and D chords.
The class runs through March 13.
“Employable Soft Skills,” runs from 7 to 8 p.m. Mondays, from March 6 through April 10. The class will teach everything a person needs to get — and keep — a job.
Grace Caron will offer Tai Chi classes at 212 South St., beginning Friday and running through April 14 from 5:15 to 6 p.m.
All of the other classes are held in the Humanity House offices at 111 S. Washington Ave. (the old McRae State Farm office.)
While there is no cost to attend, Keagle asks participants to send notification beforehand, to ensure enough supplies are available.
Humanity House also has a new telephone number. Inquiries about any of the aforementioned classes, or other Humanity House projects can be answered by calling (620) 380-6664. Additional information also is available online at www.humanityhousefoundation.com.
