Submitted by McHenry County College

Give the gift of lifelong learning and enrichment this holiday season by purchasing a gift certificate for someone who would love to take a continuing education class, participate in the Retired Adult Program or get away on a fun trip offered by the McHenry County College Continuing Education Department.

MCC offers a wide variety of continuing education classes for the winter and spring months, including art, language, music, crafts, personal development, and recreation.

The Retired Adult Program is a membership-based, noncredit program dedicated to adults ages 50 and older who are active, curious and serious about continually learning. There are many stimulating art, music and classic film lectures offered during the winter and spring months, along with many other thought-provoking classes.

MCC’s Trips and Tours program offers several day trips, along with an exciting trip to Niagara Falls in July. The day trips for 2012 include a “Chunk of Chocolate” tour in February in Chicago, followed by a trip to the Milwaukee Epicurious in March and a trip to Macy’s Flower Show spectacular on State Street in Chicago in April.

MCC gift certificates are available in the MCC Registration Office, Room A258, through Friday, Dec. 23, for any denomination.

Office hours are 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Fridays and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.
