Agree did not like the new format. Talked to one of the ladies who does the updates online and as I understand it is a budget thing. There are two things going on. First, they are transitioning from a paper based format to an electronic format which costs big bucks. Two, because of the growing number of classes, they simply do not have the budget to print all the info for every class. So they cut down the amount of info in the catalog so fewer pages would be printed. You can still call and ask about classes you are interested in and/or sign-up on the phone. I had no problem signing-up online. However, the system does not allow you to sign-up let say husband and wife at the same time. Only if you call them can you sign-up more than one person. Oh well, since it is new, let's give it a chance to work out the kinks. I am sure there will be updates to the system as we go forward.
