LAKEWOOD HERITAGE, CULTURE & THE ARTS CLASSES Winter/Spring 2019 WELCOME! Lakewoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heritage, Culture & the Arts (HCA) Classes publication is dedicated to offering creative classes and exciting winter/spring camps and programs. We welcome your participation whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenging new class or expanding your creative talents! ENROLLMENT DISCOUNTS! HCA offers several types of discounts, applied automatically upon registration. EARLY REGISTRATION: To receive this discount, class registration must be completed at least seven days in advance of the first class date. CLASS REGISTRATION Online: Lakewood.org/Register By phone: 303.987.5436 (WH), 303.987.7845 (LCC), 303.987.7850 (LHC) In person: At any of our three HCA facilities listed below. SAVE YOUR CLASSES BY SIGNING UP EARLY! Sign up early to avoid class cancellations. Classes with low enrollment are generally canceled three days prior to the first meeting date. REFUND, CREDIT AND TRANSFER POLICY Patrons requesting refunds four or more days before the class start date will be charged a 15 percent processing fee. Refund requests within three days of start date will receive a 50 percent refund. No refunds are given once the class has started. Should we cancel a class, a full refund will be issued to your household account, and you will be notified to discuss options. We understand extenuating circumstances do arise, and cancellations can be reviewed on a case by case basis. Refunds are issued via check or credit card; no cash refunds. Household credit may be used for any City of Lakewood program. No processing fees will be charged if you transfer to any other current class being offered; if there is a balance due, payment is required at time of transfer. If there is a credit due, it will be placed in your household account for future use.

A facility assessment of the Washington Heights Arts Center has been completed, and it provides recommendations for facility infrastructure improvements related to system updates and facility repairs. Care will be taken to maintain the historical and architectural accuracy of this facility, which was first constructed in the early 20th century as a schoolhouse. While disruptions to programming will be limited, some classes at this location might be affected and are subject to change or cancellation. All class registrants will be informed of any construction affecting class sessions, and accommodations and refunds will be made as needed. Customers can stay informed of exact closure dates by visiting Lakewood.org/WashingtonHeights or by calling Washington Heights Arts Center at 303.987.5436.
