Thank You for Joining Us at "Inspiration, Of Course!" 2024
On the evening of Thursday, June 6, members of Cambridge Center for Adult Education's community of donors, friends, faculty, students, and staff gathered under the twinkling lights of the Blacksmith House courtyard to celebrate "Inspiration, Of Course!" — our annual fundraising gala and block party. Over 150 guests sampled dishes from local restaurants, sipped on refreshments, enjoyed live music, and basked in the convivial and inspirational atmosphere of CCAE.

Dewayne Nelson's Farewell
Dewayne Nelson, our beloved Theater Instructor, has left CCAE to pursue his acting career full-time. During his 11-year stint with us, he developed and taught all aspects of the stage, including auditions, full productions of plays, monologues, and storytelling classes. We say thank you for his dedication and commitment to his students and the whole CCAE community!
