| Our classes are open to all adult New Canaan residents.
People planning to take classes should sign up as soon as possible using the Class Registration Form (link below);
lotteries for oversubscribed classes will be held at noon on Friday, November 20. Enrollment for all other
courses will go on until classes are filled. Registration can be brought in or mailed to P.O. Box 83, New Canaan.
Please also register for classes that charge no fee. We can only take telephone registration for free classes. Call Nancy
or Lyn at 203-594-3620 if you have questions. People over age 60 pay a lower fee [under 60 fee indicated in brackets] for some classes. Scholarships are available by contacting Lyn Bond at 203-594-3620. We understand that some people may not be available to sign up for three months. In those cases we will try to let participants enroll by the month. Our policy will be to take people who want the whole period and then accommodate as many "part-timers" as possible. As always, fees will be pro-rated. See Nancy for details. Men and women alike are welcome in all of Lapham's classes. |
