WEEK 1
Be Inventive
Look for free or low-cost activities that are fun.
• A walk in the park is not only fun – it’s inspiring!
• Your library – it’s not only books, but music & videos – much of which you can take home. Bonus: Free Internet on-site.
• Want to learn guitar? You can often get free instruction. Ask your musical friends and check the bulletin boards at your supermarket or school.
