Hi all,
Late this week there will be a LAMP class at Los Angeles City College.
Either Thurs and Fri evening (March 2 & 3) 6-10p.m., or Fri evening and
Sat morning, depending on what's best for everyone. $85 + $5 material
fee. Just I'd pass this along in case someone might be interested.
Contact the instructor, Craig Van Degrift, directly at
craig at yosemitefoothills.com .
