Kathy Schneider asks your help for Humane Society

Kathy’s gym is going to the DOGS!

At this morning’s NIA class our instructor Jamie started off by telling us about an event to benefit the KOOTENAI HUMANE SOCIETY on Friday, May 8, at 10:15 am in our gym. Linda Yates, our Group Fitness Director, came up with the idea of having a combined NIA & ZUMBA class with both instructors. Every participant is asked to bring an item from the KHS “Daily Use” Wish list. Or if preferred, make a cash donation. All the money will be combined, and for each $50 a new Kuranda bed will be purchased to keep the dogs off the concrete floors when they nap. We were each given a flyer which listed all of the items on the “Wish List”. These are two very popular classes, and loaded with both dog and cat lovers. The Kootenai Humane Society should get several bags of dog and cat food donated from this session.

Peak Health & Wellness Center is located in Hayden at the Prairie Shopping Mall, near Albertson’s and Block Buster Video. If you are in the area that day, why not stop in? If you are not a member, a guest is only charged $5 for this one hour class. It is at 10:15 am, and will last one hour. Wear comfortable clothes and sneakers.

ZUMBA (Heidi) Come join the party with an exhilarating whirl of some Latin rhythms and moves to tone plus sculpt your body while burning fat. A fun fitness aerobic workout that is easy to follow.

NIA (Jamie) Combined cardio movements from Tai Chi, Tae Kwondo, Aikido, tribal and ethnic dance, yoga and jazz dance set to an energetic blend of music.

Most grateful to each of you, I remain…
