Mid winter mini courses at St. Roch’s organized by Yvonne Christopher, Mary Watkins, and Pat Fitzgerald have again enriched both generous volunteer teachers and eager children. A reminder of the gamut of talent and interest in the neighborhood, these eight Wednesday afternoon offered each child the opportunity to experience and practice a different and new skill. From art history (films on Chagall and Picasso) to tennis (basic techniques and tournaments), the frosting on the cake literally was a pastry decorating class that produced half inch bunny families inhabiting fluted eggs and Snoopies and life size baby booties on cakes. The mini courses are but another example of the quality of commitment and caring that make the area so rich a place to live—thank you to the teachers, St. Leo Ann, and the school association which picked up the expenses.
