Monday, Aug. 15– Check out the free Sit ‘n Be
Fit exercise class offered every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9:30 a.m. Chairs
are put out for everyone and a variety of exercises are done while sitting. Hand
weights, stretchy bands and bouncing balls are incorporated into the routine.
Some exercises are also done while standing, but a chair is always there for
support if needed. A group of women also come in at that time to play some friendly
rounds of 8-ball pool. They have a good time socializing. At 10:30 a.m. after
the exercise class, a line dancing class takes place. They do some good boot
scooting to country tunes. In the afternoon, bridge players arrive around 12:30
a.m. along with canasta card players and pool/snooker players.
Tuesday, Aug. 16 – Try the free “Zumba with
Angie”, class for a faster paced workout. The class is offered at 10:30 a.m. on
Tuesdays and Thursdays. Zumba is an exercise/dance class done mostly to Latin
American dance music. Please wear good sturdy shoes. No slide on types allowed.
In the afternoon, games are played that include; canasta, duplicate bridge, pool/snooker,
and jig-saw puzzle solving. Exercise equipment that includes two exercise
bikes, and a weight set are available for use during the afternoon, too. Bingo is
played at 2:00 p.m. It is a lot of laughs and everyone wins a prize! We always
have a jig saw puzzle out, for all the puzzlers.
Wednesday, Aug. 17 – The Sit ‘n Be Fit exercise
class meets up again at 9:30 a.m. Also, women pool players arrive ready to play
some more 8-ball pool games. After the exercise class, at 10:30 a.m. line

During the afternoon, games of canasta, and other card games are played. A coed
pool tournament will be held at 1:00 p.m. You are invited to join the fun
competition.

Friday,
Aug. 19 – Friday mornings get extra busy starting when the doors open at 9:30
a.m. Exercise class, women’s pool, and a painting class, are all enjoyed by
many participants. Bring your painting or crafting supplies and share your

after the exercise class is finished warming up the room, the line dancers get
in there and heat it up again with some high stepping. Afternoon card games will
