Educational Opportunities
Each spring and fall the Sandcastle offers educational classes on a variety of topics. Along
with ongoing favorites like Opera Lite, Mah-Jongg and Bridge Lessons, there are a few new
programs to try out. In January, the Dementia Dialogues series provides an informative and
relaxed class on signs of dementia and how to help your loved one with this disease. Fulfill
your New Year’s resolution to get healthy with help from our Nutrition Presentations, “The
ABCs of Juicing and Blending” on Feb. 19 and “Gluten Free and Loving It!” on Feb. 26. If
your dog could use a little refresher on manners or has behavioral issues, bring him or her to
our new dog training classes beginning in March. Some of our educational classes may have
an associated fee. More educational opportunities will be offered throughout the year so be
sure to view our community calendar at www.kica.us (Events/Calendar).
