A letter from Muriel

Hello Everyone,

Thank you to all who walked in the Relay for Life and a big thank you to France our team captain.

Also a huge thank you to Dr. Isabelle for her free fitness assement for Feel Fit members. I am sorry I had to miss mine.

It is great to be alive today as the weather is beautiful! I have not written in awhile as my brother- in- law died suddenly and I spent time in Hawkesbury with my sister.

It is good to get back to my normal routine of yoga, gardening and walking.

We are having a Senior's Focus on Fitness Day in Otter Lake on July 24th. It will be at 12:30am at the RA Hall.

The first 25 to respond to me will get a FREE LUNCH. We are also looking into whether to car pool or get a bus. If we car pool people who drive 4 or more will be reimbursed for their gas.

Our normal meeting was planned for July 10th at Barb Haughton's but since we are having the 24th in Otter Lake, Barb has generously offered her canoes for every Wed. evening between 6-8 night . Please bring your own drinks and snacks.

Interested and want more info contact barb at
