Dear Sylvia, Thank you for thinking of me and for your introduction to David. He sounds like someone who would be a great addition to our programs. You're right that the Tuesday morning watercolour class still has for the summer session. As for woodworking, we've had that program since last year and it meets on Thursday mornings, so that should suit David's perfectly. I understand the importance of keeping costs manageable for someone who is . Our fees are reasonable, and we also offer a small discount for seniors. Please do pass along my number to David. I'd love to chat with him about getting before the session begins in July. Warm regards, Patricia
