Jingle Bell Run
Still feeling a little guilt after the Thanksgiving feast and the rest of the holidays which mean eating and drinking to excess and putting off the body reshaping until January? We know the drill! But check it - what if you could do a little exercise before Christmas that would benefit a couple of great charities? Not too much, just a 5K run or a 1 mile fun run – you could make it that far, right?
Holiday Workshop
You want it, your body yearns for it and that dress needs it. What better way to do your physique right than to move your way lean with the exotic Latin fusion Zumba. Sounds fun and entertaining because it is and with the expertise and energy from instructor Amethyst Mendek, you will forget it’s a workout and be ready in time for the holidays. Classes will continue to be held every Sunday. JPadilla

Getting back to Nature
Remember building forts and pitching tents for overnighters, storytelling in the backyard or learning how to sow seeds from a grandmother or elderly neighbor? And didn’t you just hate it when Mother marched you outside to pull weeds growing against the fence when you said you were bored! With the availability of Benadryl and calamine lotion, she didn’t care if we had allergies - she was wicked that way and am personally glad she was. Author and Journalist Richard Louv whose book Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature-deficit disorder which the Audubon Magazines says is a “too tantalizing to ignore” will present his reasons why children need to get back to nature and why we need to stop controlling the need to keep them at arms length from connecting with the environment!
