Wood Shop Program
Monday-Friday
9 a.m to 3 p.m.
One of our most popular activities is Wood Shop, which runs from Nov. 1 to April 1. Expert instructors teach students how to create their own bowl, vase, pen or other small object.
You can work at your own pace and on your own schedule, beginning with a mandatory two-hour introduction class prior to starting your first project. All equipment is provided.
The cost is $25 a month in addition to a nominal charge for materials. Ralph Thurston heads a team of instructors who are as patient as they are professional.
Ready to get in line? Line dancing is the perfect form of low impact exercise for seniors because it provides the benefits of an aerobic workout.
Some of the benefits:

Be patient!! It may take several weeks to become comfortable with new dances, but you will learn basic dance steps during that time. Come join us for the FUN of it!

Wood Carving is open to beginners and all levels of experienced carvers. Carving with knife and chisel, as well as power carving with handheld grinders, can be performed.
Occasional small classes are arranged based on need and availability of instructors. A large library of carving magazines and books is available for inspiration.
Annual PCBSC membership is required, and personal carving tools are essential, assistance in selecting quality carving tools available. No additional attendance fee is collected. Our intention is great fun and companionship as well as personal development of carving skills.

Dennis Carlson with a beautiful piece he made at Wood Carmving class at the Senior Center.
This class is for those with little or no experience with playing a ukulele. No instrument? We have six ukuleles available for borrowing. The class will teach basic skills such as playing chords that can be used for playing popular songs. More advanced students often sit in on this class to help “newbies.” The goal is for beginners to have fun and to learn a skill that can be used either at home alone or in partnership with others. Folks in the Beginning Ukulele Class are encouraged to stay for the BUMS class.

.Beach Ukulele Music Society (BUMS) Class
Friday
1 to 2:30 p.m.
This class, which begins right after the Beginning Ukulele Class, is focused on having fun playing a ukulele and singing along with a wonderful group of folks. All levels of capability are encouraged to attend. If a person knows only one chord, we encourage them to play that chord whenever it comes up and to sing along with all songs.
We strive to play familiar songs as well as to learn new songs and to improve our playing capabilities. In addition to bringing joy to ourselves, we also play for other groups and at nearby senior communities and assisted living facilities.
... And many more to come!
