Please note, NEW class protocols:
All of us at the Co-op Learning Center are thrilled to be back in the classroom! That said, keeping our partic-
ipants and instructors safe and healthy is our top priority. Here are some of the extra steps we are taking to
create a safe and awesome class experience:

•   We are closely following all guidelines from the CDC and local public health officials. Given the rapidly changing
    nature of the pandemic, all policies and procedures are subject to change.

•   All attendees will be required to wear masks. Masks must cover both nose and mouth. You can remove your
    mask briefly while tasting and dining, of course!

•   We are restricting class size to allow for social distancing and better air circulation. Classes may fill up faster than
    usual, so please add your name to the wait list. If there is enough interest, we will add additional classes.

•   For DEMO classes, we will sit one per table, or you may purchase a double ticket and share the table with your
    guest (each participant will receive all materials and full servings of food).

•   For HANDS-ON classes, instead of group cooking and family style eating, participants will now have their own
    stations, utensils, equipment, and ingredients. You may bring a guest to share your table. You will be provided
    additional ingredients to share and prepare with your guest. Member and Non-member plus guest ticket pricing
    is marked in ( ).

•   Come to class prepared to learn and eat! All classes include extensive samples or a meal.

•   Class reminders will be sent by email 48 hours prior to class.

•   Payment is expected at the time of registration to confirm your place in the class.

•   Refunds will be given in full if we cancel a class or if you cancel your registration at least two days before class.

•   Member discount applies to fully vested Co-op Members who have at least 10 shares.

•   Co-op Learning Center is not an allergen free kitchen. If you have food allergies please contact us at classes@
    coopfoodstore.com as some classes can be adjusted accordingly.
