Courses for the love of learning

An information session for spring courses designed for active senior citizens will be 10 a.m. – noon on Friday, March 22 in the Iroquois Room at Kankakee Community College.

The special guest speakers on March 22 will be Justin Caldwell and Jolene Boothe from Sweet Darren’s, a local bakery and ice cream establishment. They will talk about Sweet Darren’s vision, growth, and future.

“Sweet Darren’s is an amazing organization that empowers people with disabilities,” said Deb Hoyer-Denson, KCC director of continuing education programs. “They spread happiness through mouthwatering treats and meaningful employment.”
