Those of you in Eugene know we had a big snowfall and it has stayed cold so it sticking around making road conditions somewhat hazardous.

BMAI shuts down any time any time Eugene schools shut down and they’re shutting it down, so Monday’s class is cancelled. Stay warm, and drive safe.

Hopefully my hot water pipe will thaw out tomorrow.

Wednesday 11/6 class is cancelled due to schedule changes. Class will resume next week Monday night at 6:45-8 pm. This will be our new regular class time. Website schedule will reflect this soon. Please contact me with any questions.
