residents of Sarasota County on how to improve and maintain
their communities and neighborhoods. By attending these classes
and workshops you may not only learn new ideas and aspects of

night each week for 10 weeks. Twenty-five residents are accepted
each term on a first-come, first-served basis.

a Board of Commissioners meeting only if they have attended

have the chance to make those classes up next session and
