Jewelry Making
Tuesday, Nov. 11, 3-4:30
p.m. at SHARC Crescent
Room. Instructor: Brigitte
Bourret
Just in time for the holidays,
this jewelry class will teach
students how to make a pair of
earrings and a bracelet to take
home. Participants will be able
to select the beads they will use.
You might select colors or styles
to go with that special holiday
outfit or for a gift for someone
special. This is a fun, inexpensive craft to do at home to make
beautiful jewelry for yourself,
for gift giving or a fun activity
with the grandkids. This class
has a $10 supply fee which will
be paid to the instructor on the
day of the class. Maximum 12
participants.
More than 20 years ago,
Bourret attended an in-home
party where the participants
chose and paid by the bead and
then learned how to make a
wired bracelet. She was hooked.
Shortly thereafter, she and her
sister began making jewelry
for yearly craft fairs as a hobby
since they were both working
full-time. Bourret and her
husband Tom moved here
from Connecticut after retiring
four years ago. Bourret wasted
no time getting involved in
the Sunriver Women’s Club
where she currently serves as
president.
Travel Forum: Polynesian
Paradise
Wednesday, Jan 14, 4-5:30
p.m. at SHARC. Presenters:
Lucy & Dan Hilburn
Does a tropical island destination with more Polynesian
culture and fewer crowds than
Hawaii appeal to you? This
forum will transport you to
some of the many other Pacific islands settled by ethnic
Polynesians, including Tahiti
and others in French Polynesia,
and the Maori lands of New
Zealand. Learn about the Poly-
nesian culture and history that
these islands have in common
and also the ways in which they
are different. Tips for what to
expect, what to bring, what to
eat, where to stay, what not to
miss, and how to get around
will jumpstart your trip planning.
