Is there interest in AARP driving course?

Trout Lake News for March 21

March 19, 2013

Now that it looks like spring may finally be here, thoughts are swiftly turning to tourists and the upcoming travel season. With all the summer driving and drivers that go with it perhaps a driver safety course would be a good idea? That is the question that Jim Bull is asking. He is trying to determine how much interest there is in setting up a one-day session of the AARP Driver Safety Course.

The course does not involve any actual driving and as a bonus, besides being a safer driver, successful completion can result in a discount on your automobile insurance. The amount varies by insurance company but who couldn't use a discount on anything these days! If there is enough interest, the course would be set for a Saturday in late April. It has been two years since the last session was held here in Trout Lake. If anyone is interested in or learning about this multi-media course please contact Jim at jimbull@gorge.net or 395-2755 by March 29.

Also, a reminder that the Trout Lake Festival of the Arts has issued its call for art and the application deadline is swiftly approaching. The Annual Festival which will be held in a beautiful new location this year, Farmgate Homestead,is a juried event. Interested artists can go to the website www.troutlakefestivalofthearts.com for information and a copy of the application. Alternatively you may contact Laurie at 395-2294 or via email at tlartscouncil@gmail.com. Applications must be received by April 9.
