19 MENIFEE MATTERS COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT What's New in Your Activity Guide! We’ve made some exciting updates to the magazine to make finding classes easier than ever! Classes are now organized by type (like Art, Dance, Sports) instead of by age range, helping you quickly see all the options available in your areas of interest. You’ll also notice that class locations are listed at the top of each page for your convenience, rather than next to each individual class. If a class is held at a special location, it will still be noted next to that specific class.
