Thrifty Shopping
Instructor: Corley Anne Byras
Thursdays • 5 outings • 9/19-10/17 • 10:00 AM-2:30 PM
Class size 5-15 students
2 seats remaining
Location: Field Trips
THE FIRST CLASS meets at the Randall Student Center Conference Room 218 from 10-11am.
All other trips leave Augusta at 10am and generally return by 2:30pm. We will car-pool to the sites, none of which are more than an hour away.
Everyone loves a bargain! Fortunately we have a bunch of thrift stores in our area which gives us lots of opportunity for saving. The class will be visiting the best of them. If possible I will arrange to get us a discount at each shop.

Corley Anne Byras was raised by parents who were married during the depression. Two things they taught her were to be frugal and to do service for others. In 1962 she graduated from Muskingum College, New Concord, Ohio with a BS in education and a major in religious education and has been an educator ever since. Being married to an enlisted man and raising four children, it was a necessity for her family to be frugal. While her husband was stationed at Pease AFB, she co-chaired the base thrift shop. For the past two years, she’s volunteered at the Andwell Thrift Store in Augusta with the hopes that those in the area would benefit from shopping there and at the same time, funds would be earned for Hospice.
