Due to the weather forecasted for Wednesday, February 2, 2022, UMKC has canceled all in-person classes.  We will be holding our hybrid classes on Zoom only and canceling in-person classes.  The run down for Wednesday and Thursday is as follows.
Jewelry with Tom Tivol – Canceled and rescheduled.  This class will meet in person on February 9, 16 and end on the 23rd.
Helping Hands – Zoom Only.  Those enrolled in the class received an email that included the Zoom link.
Evolution of Civil Rights 2 – Zoom Only.  Those enrolled in the class received an email that included the Zoom link.
Discovering the Pacific – Our instructor, Alan Perry, will determine if we will hold this hybrid class with the in-person option on Wednesday once we have time to assess the conditions.  Those enrolled in the class will receive an email by Wedneday at the close of business indicating the decision.

Please note that if there are no classes with an in-person component being held, there is no one in the SPARK Office.
 
Calling all Bookworms!
Our Margaret Sturges Book Club is looking for a few good bookworms to join their ranks!  They meet on the third Monday of each month at 1:00 pm.  SPARK members can join the group at no cost. Laura Sloane, the group facilitator, will contact you with more information.  The books for February and March are:
The Stone Diaries by Carol Shields
The Dutch House by Ann Patchett

Covid In-Person Policies
The current pandemic conditions are difficult for us all.  In an effort to allow those who join us for in-person classes to assess their own risk, SPARK has developed a Covid In-person policy which can be found in the FAQ section of our website.  We urge those who are not comfortable with this policy to join classes via Zoom.
