enrollment.

It is advised to call the Club Manager to check for time and/or location changes if this is your first time attending!

Provisions from the American Disability Act will be considered when planning educational programs and activities. Please notify the Erath County Extension Office as far in advance of the program as possible if you plan on at- tending an Extension Educational program and require specialized services.
