WISHING EVERYONE A PEACEFUL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The New Year is a time of optimism, planning, and resoluteness. There’s a feeling that maybe this year we’ll make the changes we’ve been meaning to: more rest, better eating habits, more exercise, or a new job. Happy New Year!

To help us continue offering all of these exercise and enrichment programs, we gratefully accept donations of any size, with a suggested amount of between $3 & $5. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, makes a real difference and is truly appreciated. Classses are subject to change - please watch this space for cancellations.
