How to schedule a tour or program?

2. Teachers or organizers should call at least (2) weeks in advance of their desired visit date. Slots fill up on a first come, first served basis.
3. Review the tours and programs offered at the Cultural Center before calling. Have a first- and second-choice date and program just in case.
