Please contact VP of Programs, Patti Wang at patriciawang@verizon.net if you have any questions. Check our Winter 2012 Programs and Events here!

Chess Club: Whether your child is a beginner or a more advanced player, our Chess Club offers an opportunity to improve their skills and learn to love the game. Check our most current Chess Club Form.

Creative Adventures: Get ready for some fun in art! Drawing, painting, crafts, and much, much more! This art workshop—limited to 25 students per session—offers wonderful opportunities for children to use their imaginations.
