Please let Andrea know if you are interested or have any questions, lewisa@salineschools.org.

Drums Alive is back! Join Jerry and her positive energy in person. Connect to your inner rhythm by combining drumming, music, and movement. Express yourself, release stress, sing, and enjoy a sense of community. All equipment for this class, which can be done seated or standing, is provided. Register here.

Intro to Mixed Media: Mixed Media is very therapeutic and fun to “play” with. Check out this free intro class to see how fun it can be to play with your art! Register here.

Mixed Media Art: Let your inner child free in this class as we explore multimedia projects! We will paint, collage, and do some printmaking to make unique, vibrant pieces. Come to class with some ideas of what you'd like to create (a landscape, an animal, an abstract scene with specific colors?), and we'll make your ideas come to life. All materials included. Register here.

This game utilized racks to hold each player’s tiles, jokers, and “Hands and Rules” score cards, and is similar to Rummy. The first two classes will cover rules and instruction, and the last two classes will involve coaching. If you need a 2023 Mah Jong card, they are $14, available at nationalmahjonggleague.org. Please plan to stay for part of regular game play, which is 11:30am-2pm. Register here.

Not much can be told about where we’re going, but a big part of the fun is NOT knowing! Sit back and relax on our luxury charter bus and enjoy the scenery around you. Your lunch is included but additional drinks or snacks throughout the day will be at your own cost. Moderate walking is involved but you may sit portions out to relax if needed. HINT: This day will be full of culture, art, nature, and all things pretty. Come along to get a taste of this magnificent city. A new clue will be released on the deadline date. Min 30/Max 53. Deadline: Sep 15 (to reach min) Register here.

Trips are in cooperation with Pittsfield Senior Center. Sign up at SASC and your pickup / drop-off will take place at SASC. Pittsfield will also be a stop on our route for each trip. All trips on charter busses.

The sensational Broadway revival dazzles with one of the most celebrated musical scores of all time, including classic songs “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” and “People.” This bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage. Everyone told her she’d never be a star, but then something funny happened, she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway. Bus (charter) departs at 12pm, show at 2pm. Min 30/Max 52. Deadline: Sep 8. Register here.

Students from Saline High School are working on a technology project under the direction of instructors at Eastern Michigan University. They will be here Wednesday, Sep 13, 3-5pm to assist you in your technology needs. Bring your smartphone and they can help you with downloading apps, using your contacts, or any other issues. If you plan to attend, please fill out their form here or call the SASC office at 734.429.9274.
