Individuals doing genealogical research and those photographing headstones for “Find a Grave” and other online cemetery websites will find this class very helpful.

Organizing 101: Creating Visual Systems for Creative Thinkers
<p>Once something is hidden in a cupboard, closet, or drawer, does it immediately become “out of sight, out of mind?” Do you find yourself buying duplicate items because you can’t find the one you already have? Alternatively, do you constantly put things away just for members of your family to set them back out on any flat surface they can find? If so, disorganization is not the root of the problem; you may just need visual routines for creative thinkers. Open your hidden spaces up and organize your items where they can be seen and where they still exist! Don’t fight it, just create the visual systems that work for you! It’s a real thing, and local Iowa Professional Organizer Jennifer Robb can show you how to make it happen.</p><p><br></p> 2019-03-07 20:00:00 -06004/29/196:00 p.m.Kirkwood Regional CenterCoralville -
