Dear Friends,

I am pleased to announce that the Town of Oyster Bay has scheduled its Cultural Enrichment Program for the spring of 2020. This program offers varied self-development classes for adults covering a broad range of cultural interests. This season, we’re offering instruction in meditation, crystals, drawing and various styles of painting. All classes will be taught by instructors who are accomplished in their fields.

The Department of Community and Youth Services, through the Cultural and Performing Arts Division, takes pride in presenting educational and informative programs; I am confident you will find a class that will pique your interest.

These spring classes will be offered at two of our Town of Oyster Bay Community Centers - the Syosset-Woodbury Community Center in Woodbury and the North Massapequa Community Center in Massapequa.

On behalf of my colleagues on the Town Board, I encourage you to take advantage of these exciting classes organized for both your education and enjoyment.
