We're back for another Sunday Matinee!

We will be playing Angels in the Outfield (PG)

"Young foster child Roger Bomman and his friend, J.P., love to sneak into baseball games of the struggling California Angels. Still in limited contact with his widowed father, Roger asks when they will be a family again. His father replies sarcastically, "I'd say when the Angels win the pennant". Taking his father's words literally, he prays for God to help the Angels win. In a game against the Toronto Blue Jays which Roger and J.P. attend, he sees a group of angels led by Al helping the team. "

Popcorn included, of course!

Date: Sunday February 16, 2025

Time: 2 - 4 PM

Fee: $1 residents | $2 non-residents | Members watch for FREE

This is an internet-assisted course.

Additionally, you will be going on a short hike to a nearby outdoor shooting range located on site.  Please do not bring any firearms.  Guns and ammunition will be provided. 

Dress appropriately for the weather.  The class is in a metal building and if the weather is hot/cold it will be warm/cool in the building.  I suggest dressing in layers.  The shooting range may also be warm/cool/muddy, so wear appropriate shoes/jackets.

This class is for everyone, but especially helpful to college students. Headed to college for the first time? Returning college student? This class is a MUST before heading back to campus!
