Last Class: Bonding with regular attenders creates anticipcation to be intrigued with one another. It's like watching a great movie, but unexpectedly time runs out and the screen pops up with "to be continued"...........
Disappointment emerges, but is quickly replaced with a craving to come back next week for the drama to be unfolded.
Please come..........and bring a friend.
