If you want a way to expand your art experience this is the way to do it! We made a seascape, and I loved how mine turned out!

My 13 year old daughter attended a painting class last weekend via Zoom. As a beginner painter,…read moreshe knew she was in for a challenge. However, Karen made it a smooth experience by specifying the colors and supplies needed beforehand. She had multiple cameras set up that clearly focused on her canvas and palette as needed. Moreover, she was very patient in demonstrating how to blend the colors needed to paint water and waves. My daughter was very surprised at how well her painting turned out. Overall, it was a very relaxing class for my daughter, especially since the subject (water and waves) was so calming. A fun activity, especially when you're trying to keep the kids entertained at home during a pandemic!

This review is for the bike tour NOT surfing. My husband, our two teens, and I did the 9:00 a.m…read more electric bike tour of Coronado Island on 12/31. We've done several electric bike tours in other California cities and were really looking forward to this one. While our tour guide was genuinely very nice, she knew very little about Coronado Island or its points of interest, and the tour itself was not engaging. She openly admitted that this was not a tour she usually led and that she was primarily a surf instructor. I'm sure she would be great in that role, but as a bike tour guide, the experience was very lackluster. The total cost was $512 for 1.5 hours, which was absolutely not worth the price given the lack of information and overall tour quality. Unfortunately, this was a disappointing experience compared to similar tours we've taken elsewhere.

I am not even going to act like this review doesn't have a huge slant 'cause it does. I just love San Diego Writers, Ink and have for many years. I became an active volunteer for the free writing sessions last February. All of the staff that I met and writers who came in to participate were fabulous. Their energy helped so much with my own writing in the comfortable wide open space on Liberty Station, one of my fave parts of town. All of the events, classes, workshops, and such are a great benefit and not at any exorbitant costs either. If you're a new and budding writer or a page veteran and looking for like minds take a look at their website and stop into one of the sessions or classes. Happy writing!

Prior to attending the class I went to get my passport 2 x 2 color passport picture (Postal Annex) and Live Scan Fingerprinting (UPS Store) completed as these services aren't provided with the class. I saved some money ($22) doing so on my own compared to the going rate on the National Notary ($110). I just took my Combo Mobile Notary & Marketing Class this past Saturday. Richard was engaging, friendly, informative and preps you well for the exam (which follows immediately after the 6 hour course). On the day of the class, you're provided with a Notarial Journal, Notarial Thumb Print Stamp,Disc with the required state Notarial forms, and 20% off discount coupon for your stamp and Notary supplies. I got a little anxious and nervous prior to the exam and he helped me overcome this by ensuring me that I'm doing fine, to just relax and take my time reading the questions vs rushing through everything. After reviewing all the materials taught in class and the encouragement from Richard...I felt confident taking my 30 question Notary exam. Now I just gotta wait a little over 2 weeks for my grades. Following the 6 hour notary course I stayed another 3 hours to take the Mobile class. I was given insight on very helpful information in loan signing and mobile notary service. I can't thank Richard enough for sharing his knowledge and the wealth of information obtained from both classes. I highly recommend CA Notary School for those who are interested in becoming a Notary or wish to renew their commission.

I felt completely taken advantage of. I paid hundreds of dollars for this service, only to discover that there was essentially no meaningful service provided after the initial sales pitch. I spent months trying to get help and get answers, with no response. I ultimately had to file a claim with my credit card company, and thankfully, I was able to receive a full reimbursement after the company ignored my attempts to resolve the issue. I'm usually someone who is very cautious and doesn't fall for scams, which is why this was especially frustrating. The sales approach was extremely sophisticated and convincing, but the actual service did not deliver what was promised. It delivered nothing. Do not waste your money on this. Save yourself the hundreds of dollars and the months of frustration.

I joined the club at my first meeting but then let my fear and anxiety take over and I avoided meetings for months. But I knew that this club could help me and so I challenged myself to attend. The friendliness and helpfulness of the members encouraged me to continue to attend to build my self-confidence and communication skills and, eventually, my leadership skills. Besides the membership, what I like about the program is its go-at-your-own-pace approach. The initial communication and leadership manuals take you through 10 projects, each designed to teach you a new skill. I've seen members finish manuals in as little as 6 months or take as long as 4 years. Since joining Toastmasters, when I could barely stand up in front of a few people and speak, I now regularly teach classes, have emceed an event attended by 250, and even given toasts at special occasions. I now voice my opinion at business meetings and am better in all aspects of my job; after all, the key to success in the business world is the ability to communicate clearly and succinctly. The leadership skills I've learned through Toastmasters have allowed me to take on increasingly larger roles as an officer at the club, area, division, and district levels. With the support, friendship, and encouragement of the members of Dynamic Speakers Toastmasters I continue to improve my self-confidence and communication and leadership skills week after week. I encourage you to check our website and to visit us to see how we can help you become the confident communicator and leader you can be.
