JARC is excited to roll out Hobbies and Hangouts, a program of
Making Community Connections. It’s a free opportunity for community
members and persons served by JARC to explore a new hobby together
with the goal of forming friendships. The hope is that some groups may
choose to continue their new hobbies even after the exploration period.
Three different types of Hobbies and Hangouts classes were available
to explore in June including Tai Chi, ceramics and line dancing. Half of
each class consisted of persons served by JARC and the other half of the
class were members of the community.
Participants enjoyed their experiences, and more types of classes are
being planned. Anyone interested in an upcoming class should contact
Jessica Tierney at jessicatierney@jarc.org.
