WALL (Weekend Adult Lifetime Learning) WALL is a non-credit program for folks who want to learn a new hobby, game, craft, skill, develop self-improvement techniques, or just want to expand awareness of local and world events. The classes are taught by volunteer instructors willing to share their knowledge. Best of all, WALL classes are fun! Most classes pack a lot of useable information and skill into a short period of time on Friday evening or Saturday morning.
