New Year’s Day is a time for new beginnings, a fresh start, or to turn over a new leaf. That’s why we make “New Year’s resolutions” to lose weight, improve our health, find a hobby, develop a skill, or learn something new.

To help you keep those resolutions, Florida Gulf Coast University’s Renaissance Academy in downtown Punta Gorda is offering you a sneak peek at its diverse Winter/Spring course curriculum. For your preview of what’s coming up at the Renaissance Academy, stop by our Open House from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday.
