Learn to write or “Word” at home
Take advantage of a flexible
schedule and discover the
writer hidden within, in Portland
Community College’s upcom-
ing online writing class.
If you’ve dreamed of writing
creatively, the non-credit Be-
ginning Writer’s Workshop
course is a great place to start.
Instructor Ann Linquist will in-
troduce students to the writing
life and cover how to improve
writing skills and new ways to
stretch your creative muscles.
Working with a word pro-
cessing program is essential in
today’s high tech environment.
If you need to start from the be-
ginning or just need to update
your skills, Portland Communi-
ty College will offer an online
non-credit Word 2003 class this
spring.
Word 2003: Level I shows
students how to create and
modify documents in Word
2003, the most popular word-
processing program available.
Join instructor Craig Power to
learn the basics and quickly be-
come proficient.
Held entirely online via the
Internet, these six-week class-
es offer the flexibility to open
lessons whenever your sched-
ule allows and feature discus-
sion boards with the instructor
and other students. These
classes will be offered May 17
through June 23. Cost is $85.

Although the weather wasn’t cooperating on April 29, being
wet and cool, the Bike Rodeo drew around 100 children and
adults and was deemed a success by the police department.
