Fall Semester '07 at UMKC
Well folks, it's that time of year again... the birds are chirping, its as hot as a sun-of-a-gun outside and the Fall Semester at UMKC is nipping at our heels. As a student and a work study of UMKC, I would be remiss if I said that I wasn't "excited" for this new semester, right?
One thing I can honestly say that I'm excited about is all of the new and exciting classes we are offering this fall at Communiversity! We have great new art classes that range from "The Business of Art" to "The Art of Photoshop" and everything in between.
Are you interested in The Kansas City Roller Derby? Well, the the KC Roller Warriors, KC's own female roller derby team, has been gracious enough to offer a Communiversity Class. Are you a Halloween fanatic? We have two great new classes that deal with building your own haunted house as well as touring haunted buildings in Independence.
Our new fall catalog (full of our own blood, sweat and tears!) should be out in the next couple of weeks.
Communiversity: Giving you things to do in Kansas City for over 30 years!

Lady Tenderheart's School of Magic!
I had the opportunity to go and see a Communiversity Class that was held by Kim Oursler and it was a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e! Not to mention fun! The kids got to dress up and learn all about the spirits of the earth. One of my favorite parts was when the kids were asked to call forth the creatures of the earth and some of the responses ranged from "pirates" to " a unicorn with it's mane on fire"!!!

Activities in Kansas City
Holy Mother! This blogging thing is working! While blogging can be therapeutic to me, I would ultimately like it to be beneficial to Communiversity and it looks like it just might be. Today, I typed in the phrase "stuff to do in Kansas City" into the almighty Google and low and behold.... guess who's number 1? Alright, enough patting myself on the back... onto more important things.
Activities in Kansas City in the next couple of days...
I am personally stoked about the Lady Tenderheart’s School of Magic for Little Witches: Fairy Magic class that is happening tomorrow. One, because it sounds adorable and two, because I'm personally going to go to take pictures! So look for those in the next couple of days. Here's the description of the class: Fairies delight and entice us with their mysterious ways and magical play. We will dress like the fairies with wings, glitter, and pretty things, learn a little about the World of Fairy, and create an altar for the fairies to invite them in to our homes. This class is for children ages 3 to 10 years. Please bring $5 for materials to class.
How fun is that!

Just Another Manic Monday
Are you humming the ever popular 80's tune? Well, it is a Manic Monday here in the office of Communiversity and there's no time for humming! Our deadline for our fall catalog is quickly approaching (Like this Friday) and we are desperately seeking (Susan- J/K. Another 80's thing) new classes and new volunteer teachers. Our goal is to always stay abreast of what you want to do and see as far as things to do in Kansas City.
One of the hardest and most frustrating parts of our jobs is finding people who sincerely want to serve the community. All of our teachers/conveners are volunteers- they do not get paid. That's a hard pill for some people to swallow now-a-days. "What? I have to give up a couple of hours of my time and not get paid?" Its like we're asking for a kidney! Here are some of the perks to joining the Communiversity Family and teaching classes:
Getting to meet people with similar interests
Developing/working on your public speaking skills
Looks great on a resume
Increases public awareness of your skills and expertise
Helping People in Kansas City
Giving Back
Saving the World one life at a time
Must I go on?
So call us at 816-235-1448 or email us at commu@umkc.edu or visit our website for more info!

Singles in Kansas City
I am not single anymore, but when I was single I found it extremely difficult to meet quality members of the opposite sex. By quality, I mean don't live at home with their parents, have a job and aren't complete tools. Call me crazy, but being single in Kansas City (or any where for that matter!) can be a big old pain in the neck.
Here at Communiversity, we want to help you singles out there! But in order to help you, you must help us! Here in the office we've been kicking around different ideas about how to develop more classes for singles. We thought about trying to find someone to teach a class on the ins and outs and safety tips for Online Dating. Also, what are some things for singles to do in Kansas City? Are there mixers going on around town? What about a class on speed dating in Kansas City? If you have any great ideas for us or can point us in the right direction that would be great! Call us at 816-235-1448 or visit our website at www.umkc.edu/commu. Have a great weekend!!!!!

Crochet in Kansas City
I am not very domestic. Meaning: I can't really cook all that well (save my meatloaf and grilled chicken). I don't sew. I'm kinda clean, but not really. I'm sure that you get the point. How great would it be though, to learn how to crochet! Kansas City can get kinda cold in the winters and new clothes are expensive, so why not make your own?
Communiversity's upcoming "Learn to Crochet" class could help you do just that. Here are the pertinent details. Call 813-235-1448 or log onto www.umkc.edu/commu to register.
Learn to Crochet
Cozy up with a crochet hook and some yarn and learn all the basic stitches: chain, single, double and treble. From there you can make afghans, scarves, hats, dresses, baby clothes, purses, decorations, boxes, or whatever you can imagine. Bring your own supplies or buy them at class. Nirmal has been crocheting ever since her grandmother taught her how at the age of seven.Convener: Nirmal Kaur Khalsa Class Fee: $14

New Class Ideas in Kansas City!
We are all running around like chicken with our heads cut off around here trying to not only come up with new class ideas, but also to find people to teach those classes. People may not realize that here at Communiversity classes don't just appear out of thin air! There is a lot of work that goes into developing new class ideas and making sure that the enrollment for those new classes is as high as it can be.
One of our main goals here at Communiversity is to always be evolving and staying with the times. So here are some of our ideas to appeal to a new generation of Communiversity participants: (Classes on or about...)
On-line dating

What is Doga?
Some of you may have read the article in The Pitch a few weeks ago about our Doga Class- Yoga with your dog. What a great idea. Even though I personally don't own a dog at the moment (call me crazy, but planning a wedding, going to school and working doesn't leave a lot of spare time) , if I did, I would definitely take a Doga Class with my little pooch!
This class has been one of our most popular classes in Communiversity History! Even though we're all booked up for Summer, keep an eye out for Doga with Communiversity in the Fall. Here's a full description:

Stuff to do in Kansas City
Our beloved leader and boss, Rick, is back from vacation, but he has a headache... he wanted me to put that in here. Speaking of headaches... are you looking for stuff to do in Kansas City? What about taking a Communiversity Class!!!!
Tomorrow we have a great class on meditation, taught by Carol Meyer and then we have another one on Thursday being held by John Flaherty. Here are the class descriptions:
Peace Within: Learning to Meditate
Don't be put off by thinking that meditation is not for you because you can't still your mind. It's easy and enjoyable and produces many benefits: less stress, better health, more wisdom and guidance, feelings of joy and connection, inner strength and more. I will teach you all you need to know to do it successfully, whether for spiritual purposes or simply for relaxation. Carol Meyer, MA in Theology, is a spiritual teacher and counselor with a passion for meditation and sharing this gift with all. Please bring $3 to class for materials.Convener: Carol Meyer
Insight Meditation
Theravada Buddhism is the oldest and most accessible of the three schools of Buddhism. Learn the philosophy and meditation techniques of this ancient path to liberation. We can learn to respond skillfully to the inevitable pain of human life. Conveners have studied and practiced for over 15 years.Convener: John Flaherty
