Marjorie Book Continuing Education’s mission is to bring people with and without disabilities together through continuing education classes, service learning projects and theatrical productions in both face-to-face and virtual settings. Our group is volunteer-driven and keeps its administrative overhead very low with a volunteer executive director. In recent times, Marjorie Book has delivered a mixture of outdoor service projects at the Mill Creek Trail and Homeless Coalition, theatrical rehearsals and productions, a poetry class, a virtual film class and a table top role playing group. Additionally, local writer, Al Landen, has been teaching a creative writing class. Marjorie Book has a diverse membership ranging in age from 15 to 81 and representing various abilities and physical and intellectual disabilities.
