CHESTER – Southern Hilltown Adult Education Center Director Michele Kenney has announced that free fall 2020 classes will be hosted online, utilizing the Zoom platform.
“In order to better serve the Hilltown Community, we have opted to hold our fall 2020 classes online. If you need assistance setting up or using Zoom on your computer or phone, please reach out to us, and we can walk you through the process,” Kenney said,
Residents of the Gateway Hilltowns of Blandford, Chester, Huntington, Middlefield, Montgomery and Russell are eligible to take these classes. Residents must pre-register for the classes on the www.SHAEC.org/registration-form.
The fall 2020 newsletter, which lists all of the classes, is available to download at www.SHAEC.org, and will be mailed to all residents in the six Gateway towns.

SHAEC is a program of the UMass Partnership for Worker Education Program, and is funded by a Community Development Block Grant from the Mass Dept of Housing and Community Development through the lead town of Russelll, in partnership with Huntington and Middlefield.
Additional funding has been provided by the CARES Act to include the towns of Blandford, Chester and Montgomery; and by the Hilltown Community Development Corporation, and the generosity of volunteers and private donors.
