SPECIAL EVENT: “DO I HAVE TO?” –<br />
HOW CHORES EMPOWER FAMILIES<br />
Co-Sponsored by the <strong>Needham</strong> Women’s Club<br />
Susan Tordella, Presenter<br />
Sweeping the floor, emptying the dishwasher, and<br />
caring for pets can teach children the priceless gift<br />
of self-discipline. The author of Raising Able: How<br />
Chores Empower Families, will share how to use<br />
encouragement and family meetings to engage totsto-teens<br />
in teamwork, connect to each other, and<br />
have fun. Be ready to laugh as you learn how positive<br />
discipline can motivate your family to pitch in together<br />
without begging, berating, or bribery. Motivation<br />
from doing chores establishes good habits for life.<br />
Susan Tordella, M.A., has taught positive parenting to<br />
scores of parents. Her four children, now ages 23-<br />
30, did chores for years. “They call home, but never<br />
for money,” Susan has said. Visit her blog at www.<br />

BEGINNING BEEKEEPING NEW<br />
Pat Canavan, Instructor<br />
It’s as easy as gardening, gets you outdoors in a new<br />
way, helps local flowers and gardens AND provides<br />
you with locally produced honey – it’s no wonder<br />
that backyard beekeeping has become so popular!<br />
And, many beekeepers report the almost magical<br />
experie<strong>nce</strong> of tending the bees. You will learn all<br />
about bees and beekeeping, including bee biology,<br />
required equipment, setting up beehives, acquiring<br />
and installing bees, managing bees throughout the<br />
seasons, and local bee supply dealers. The course<br />
will culminate in one field session on a Saturday<br />
off-site in Newton (weather permitting) working with<br />
live honeybees. The book Beekeeping for Dummies<br />
by Howland Blackiston (ISBN #978-0764554193) is<br />
recommended. Limited to 16.<br />

DRAWING FUNDAMENTALS<br />
Denise Driscoll, Instructor<br />
This class will be geared for beginners and will focus<br />
on basic drawing co<strong>nce</strong>pts: line, contour, shape, form,<br />
value and texture. These will be applied as we engage<br />
in a variety of activities, such as drawing from still life,<br />
large-scale environment, self-portrait, and the figure.<br />
While drawing from observation will be our main focus,<br />
abstract possibilities such as conveying mood and<br />
movement through line will also be explored. Classes<br />
will combine short exercises introducing skills and<br />
co<strong>nce</strong>pts with longer, more individualized drawing<br />
opportunities. A materials list will be posted on the<br />
<strong>adult</strong> education page of the district website (under<br />
Community Ed) www.needham.k12.ma.us by class<br />
title. Limited to 12.<br />
