What a fantastic time we had in our art 🎨 class with Kim Valentine!

This month's theme brought back some of our favorite childhood memories: those perfect, carefree moments with a popsicle in hand on a sunny 🌞 day. It was so inspiring to see everyone's unique take on the theme.

The class was filled with so much joy and talent, and the paintings were absolutely incredible.

Thank you, Kim, for creating such a fun and welcoming space for us to create and reminisce! 🌟

Bringing Home the Beach! ⛱️ 🌊 🏖️

This past week, our craft class got a little dose of summer with a "Sea in a Bottle" project! It was a wonderfully creative sensory activity where members could bring a little piece of the beach home with them.

Using a mix of seashells, shimmering pearls, glitter, and liquid soap, everyone crafted their own unique watery world. We made sure to secure the caps with glue, so the bottles can be tipped upside down and shaken to their hearts' content, allowing them to watch the contents move and swirl.

It was wonderful to see so many smiles and so much participation from everyone. The class was a huge success! 🌟

Great to hear staff enjoyed her game 🎾 with SD! A little friendly competition is always a great way to bond. Sounds like a good time on the court!

Lesson: The Anatomy of a Tennis Swing

A tennis swing is more than just hitting a ball; it's a full-body workout. The dynamic and explosive movements required in tennis engage a wide range of muscle groups, leading to improvements in strength, endurance, and coordination.

Lower Body Power
The legs and glutes are the foundation of a powerful tennis stroke. Think about the constant running, shuffling, and explosive lunges to reach the ball—this is where your lower body generates the power needed to drive through a shot.

Core Stability
The core muscles, including the abdominals and obliques, are essential for stability and rotation. A strong core allows you to transfer energy from your lower body to your upper body, ensuring a smooth and powerful swing. It's the engine that connects all the moving parts.

Upper Body Strength
While the lower body and core provide the power, the shoulders, arms, and back control the racquet and the ball's direction. The forearm muscles are crucial for grip and control, while the deltoids and rotator cuff muscles in the shoulder are heavily engaged during serves and overheads.

We love seeing this kind of dedication! 🌟

SD is on the path to making his entrepreneurial dreams 💭a reality. We caught him seriously focused, looking through the local newspaper 🗞📰 and filling out an application online. His commitment to working on his goals is truly inspiring!

We're so proud to support him on this journey.

It's always a treat to see our members doing what they love! 💗

Staff had a fantastic time at Toisnot Park today with SD, who was living his heart's desire by being outdoors. He had a great time feeding the ducks 🦆 and enjoying a nature walk 🌳.

Nothing beats a beautiful day ☀ spent outside, and SD's happiness was contagious!
