Find the motivation to make important life changes with Health, Leisure and Family classes offered through the Alliance for Lifelong Learning (ALL) at Oakton Community College. Register now for courses offered this fall to District 535 residents at 19 convenient locations, including local high schools, libraries, and churches.

Should an adoption be open or closed? Are adoptive parents better off making arrangements privately, or through an agency? Learn the answers to these and other questions in a new, single-session workshop designed for prospective adoptive parents. Facilitated by Judy Stigger, a licensed social worker with more than 20 years of experience, Adoption Options (PSY C16, Touch-Tone 02990) meets Monday, Sept. 29, from 7 to 10 p.m., at Niles North High School, 9800 Lawler Avenue, Skokie.
