“Boo in the Zoo” at Soden’s Grove will be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Oct. 31. The Sertoma Club will offer a “Haunted Train” ride on the miniature train.
AARP driver safety classes
AARP driver safety classes are scheduled for the area from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m. on Nov. 12 and 13 at the Burlington Recreation Center. This will make up the eight-hour course required for certification and to receive a discount on automobile insurance premiums. The fee for the class for AARP members is $12 and $14 for others. Participants are to bring their membership cards. Bill Winter of Burlington will be the instructor.
According to the news release, course participation sharpens one’s driving skills and (helps) develop strategies for adjusting to age-related changes in vision, hearing and learning how to handle the challenges of today’s road, including how to deal with aggressive driving.
Upon completion of the eight hour course, Kansas law requires all automobile insurance carriers to offer a discount on premiums to qualified drivers. No test will be given and one must attend both day classes to graduate.
To register for the class and information, call Bill Winter at (620) 364-2401 or the Recreation Center at (620) 364-8484.
