CCS INSTITUTE FOR EXTENDED LEARNING winter Class Schedule

The Spokesman-Review

Now that Christmas is over, many Spokane residents are probably wondering where they can learn the basics of horseshoeing. Or hula dancing. Or how to wail a bluesy harmonica riff to the accompaniment of a howling dog and a complaining spouse.

The Community Colleges of Spokane Institute for Extended Learning can help you with these and any other goals for the new year. Or if you’d rather just stay at home and drink wine, CCS has a class for that, too:
