The same class, open to all ages, will be offered from 6-8 p.m. Both classes are at the Center at Founders Village Senior and Community Center, 17967 Bushard St. Cost is $42 per person.

(There is a worst place to stand in a group photo). ~ "It's not you ... it's the photographer!" What your photographer must know to help make you look good on camera. ~ Camera or cell phone? We’ll give you the scoop on how to look good (or bad!) with either one. ~ You’ll also get some bonus tips on how to avoid glare on your glasses.

There will be live demonstrations so let Lynn know if you'd like to be one of the "class models."
