No artistic experience or talent necessary.
End-of-Life Readiness - Tuesday Oct 19,  1-4 pm $15
Be Prepared!  Dying is a serious and complicated business. None of us want to think about the day we are going to die, but those we leave behind will hope and pray that we do.  Probate courts are inundated with cases resulting from a lack of planning. Don't let death catch you OR your loved ones unprepared. Planned speakers will include an estate-planning attorney and Hospice of the Valley.  Charlotte Fox's workbook, "And Then There Was One" is a 265 page workbook guide to aid in end-of-life planning, using step-by-step checklists and nearly 70 forms, to protect and make the transition easier for your survivors.   It spells out what needs to be taken care of before and after a death.  Workbook cost $25.00 (optional).

Benefits include stimulating your curiosity, engaging your mind, and building new friendships. Courses on a variety of topics are offered including history, art, music, geography, current events, religion, science and more.

​Grand Learning Expectations:
Students will:
      Put cell phones on vibrate
      No sidebar conversations
      No interruptions- wait to be acknowledged
      Treat all with respect 
      Share the floor
Remember to watch for your e-mail confirmation and e-mail reminder about your class. If you don't get them, your registration may not have gone through. Always look for "$0" Balance Due on invoice to show your payment processed. The most common reason for not processing are typos when you enter your credit card information. Look for red print explaining why it didn't process.

Grand Learning adheres to the Sun City Grand CAM no-refund policy to issue credits toward future classes if a student cancels at least 48 hours prior to the class.

If you have Magic Jack, we cannot call you...our phones do not clear your Caller ID system. Please give us a number where we can reach you (we want you to get that wait-listed class and may not have enough time for an e-mail exchange!)
