Educational Outreach's Spring Catalog is Now Available |
|
| |
Explore Educational Outreach's Spring Catalog to discover how you can make your journey into the new year a joyous and memorable occasion!
“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see” (Henry David Thoreau). If we are gifted with the physical ability of sight, it is not too difficult to "look," but it is the seeing that seems to define our willingness to explore, create and try new things. We hope you feel the promise and expectancy of the new year, and we wish you the ability to not only look but then to see, perhaps in a way you’ve never seen before. Each day brings promise and the opportunity to look again. Enjoy the journey into the new year and beyond, and celebrate all which allows each of us to see things anew.
To register or for more information, please visit our new and exciting educational outreach website.
