The class will be held at the Alber Red Cross Center, 1849 Summerset Dr., from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a 30-minute break for lunch.

The fee for the class and materials is $45.96, including tax. Class size is limited and prepayment is required. Participants may sign up and pay fees in person at the Alber Red Cross Center, weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. During the same hours, students may register by phone and pay with a major credit card. A scholarship program is in place to cover some or all of the fee, depending on financial need.
