Embrace the Information Age

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Class tomorrow will meet at 8:45am at the Vancouver Post Office Mail Processing Center downtown for a tour (courtesy of Leah Briney) of the facility. The address is 349 Georgia, so let’s meet at the corner of Georgia and Homer. We’ll continue the class at a local hot beverage establishment after the tour. Any questions call Nick at 778-883-NICK.
