Digital SLR Photography Class

 

Three Mondays beginning February 6th 7:00pm - 9:00pm   $40.00 
This isn't your old stodgy photo class. This class is designed for the students and their interests.  Sure you'll learn about f/stops, shutter speeds, depth of field, white balance, histograms, composition, lighting, and flash, but more important, you'll learn all this as it pertains to your photographic interests.  If your child plays soccer, we'll show you how to take better soccer photos.  If you like flowers or landscapes, we'll show you how to take these images.  Portraits, got that covered too.  Even though this class is designed for Digital SLR cameras, point & shoot and film shooters will also benefit from these techniques.  So, bring your DSLR or other camera and an eagerness to learn.  Bob Patterson, a local professional photographer, will teach the class. 

 

Register with WSCC no later than January 31st.

So, you want to learn to play the Ukulele….

     The WSCC is home base for Steel City Ukuleles.  Our bi-monthly sessions accommodate a wide range of abilities. We welcome new-to-uke players,

people who play for fun and those who have switched from a bulky guitar to the light and happy-sounding uke. 

At SCU, we teach and learn together: chords and alternate chords, strumming technique, picking out melody. We have a range of soprano, tenor, concert and baritone uke players, and members lead the sessions. We might play Five Foot Two, Darktown Strutters Ball and Pretty Baby. Or some Beatles, Blues or Hawaiian tunes. 

Do you, or someone you know, play the uke? You are invited to bring your uke and come play with us. It’s lots of fun.  If you don’t know the chords, just sing louder. 

For more information, call Marlene@ 412-481-1620.

Welcome to the Wilkins School Community Center 

Who is the Wilkins School Community Center (WSCC)?

The Wilkins School Community Center is a non-profit, 501c3 organization that has been a vital space in the heart of Regent Square for over 30 years. The former school building, located at 7604 Charleston Avenue at the intersection of Milton Avenue, provides a meeting place for many other civic groups such at the Regent Square Civic Association (RSCA) and the Run Around the Square (RATS).  (Note: the residents of Regent Square are triple lucky to have three separate nonprofit organizations working to enhance the quality of their neighborhood in such unique and distinct ways; the WSCC, RSCA and RATS.)  

Several cultural and educational organizations use the WSCC to teach and meet, such as PALS, a home schooling group that offers weekly classes, Osher Institute of Life Long Learning and the OCA, the Organization of Chinese Americans.The WSCC itself offers numerous classes in the arts, dance, yoga, martial arts, cooking, wine tasting and fitness each week. Some rooms in the center, including a kitchen, are available for hourly, daily, weekly and monthly rentals at very reasonable rates. Many in the neighborhood cast their ballots on Election Day at the WSCC.

In 2006, the WSCC installed a playground on the grounds with the help of members of the community. This playground is enjoyed daily by children in the neighborhood and was paid for by fundraising efforts of the WSCC. The WSCC is responsible for all building and ground maintenance and their costs. These expenses are paid with membership contributions, tax-deductible donations and rental fees. Volunteers are an important component of our operations: volunteers maintain the WSCC gardens, stock and run the Annual Used Book and Plant Sale, and plan and produce the Holiday Shop and the EcoFest.

If you enjoy having a vibrant community center in the neighborhood and all that it offers, please show us your support by participating in our events, becoming a member, making a donation, or volunteering. Contact us by phone 412 244 8458, email wsccpgh@yahoo.com or visit our website http://www.wsccpgh.org
