St. John Learning Center On Site Classes Postponed Until August

The on site computer classes and open lab that were to start again next week have now been postponed until August due to the growing number of COVID-19 cases in Columbus.  The new flyer is below.  Please help us spread the word.  Many of the summer classes will be taught on Zoom, so there is still a lot to participate in.

The St. John Learning Center is in the process of re-opening with some in person classes (mainly the computer classes for now) and lots of online classes (on Zoom).
