Welcome to everyone taking my summer Excel Level 1 class. We do still have a few seats left for the Tuesday and Thursday 5:30-9:30 class available if you want to join us. It is a 6 week class and you will need a book. The ISBN numbers for the book are either 9780763843113 or 9780763843144. Amazon had a few used ones at a very low price. I look forward to spending my evenings with you!
