Introduction
INVITATION TO CLASSES AT THE VILLAGE CLUB
We look forward to welcoming you to fall classes at The Village Club. Topics range from the Brigg’s Estate and Hamtramck, to African musical instruments and Big Bands, from Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Midway, to a presentation by a retired Navy fighter pilot who will explain his personal combat experience as a Top Gun in Vietnam.
Art historian Wendy Evans returns to The Village Club to discuss The British Royals and Elizabeth II who celebrated her Platinum Jubilee this year. New this year are essential oils and charcuterie classes where participants will be able to take home a jar of organic body butter and their own charcuterie board masterpiece.
Those who enjoy literature will be delighted with the books chosen for The Readers and Film 101 enthusiasts will enjoy the film discussion series on the Academy Awards Feature Film winners. Knitting, bridge workshops, yoga and mat Pilates fitness classes continue to be popular, catering to multiple skill levels. As a reminder, business casual attire is appropriate, as is tasteful denim.
