Michele's Weekly Club Update!! March 12, 2013



Here are this week's announcements:

1. CPR/AED Class -- FREE this Saturday at 11:30am for all members!  There are only 12 slots available and we are almost booked up so email us quick with your commitment and we'll "save you" a spot.  (ok bad joke).  Thank you again to our Snap Member and EMT Rob Sherry for volunteering his time for YOU.  GO ROB!

2. There are two 5k runs coming up in Hartford.  One on March 17th and one on March 24th.  Jessica and a few Snap members are planning to run the one on the 17th (Max's O'Hartford 5K) so if you would like to join let us know asap so we can have a shirt for you :)  Here is the link to register:

3.  Be sure to please swipe your card during staffed hours even though the door may be unlocked.  We need to stalk, I mean, track all accesses for your protection :)

4.  Silver Sneakers classes to start April 1st.  The classes will be late morning -- please email me your "vote" for days of the week!  Class description below.

5.  Speaking of classes.................we added 9am Aerobics for Everyone on Tu/Th morning per member requests......but only 1 or 2 people are coming.....  The class is more of a "boot camp light" and not as intense as the boot camp classes, but not a breeze either.  Great total body conditioning class.  So we would love to see more of you that requested morning classes come on in and join us!

6.  Great job everyone for bringing a change of shoes! And for racking your weights --- I think I only had to rack 45lb plates in my high heels ONCE last week.  Woo!

All for now ---- have a great week everyone!  And remember -- I'm always listening!

Calling Team Snap: Iron Horse Half/10K/5K Sunday, June 3, 2012

So listen, it's time for TEAM SNAP to step up to the plate and hit this one out of the park.  I'm willing to do the 5K, and could possibly be persuaded to run the 10K.  Carly is in, and I'm looking for some more people to join us.  Let us know, we'll be happy to have you!  We can certainly get some longer runs in these next few weeks together to help prepare for it as well!  LET US KNOW!

The 2012 Amica Iron Horse Half Marathon, 10K & 5K has partnered with Purple Heart Homes, a veteran owned and operated 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization founded to give back and make a difference in the lives of Service Connected Disabled Veterans. This year we are supporting Marine Corporal, Manny Jimenez a squad leader in Afghanistan who lost his left arm, hearing, and partial sight when an IED detonated while on routine foot patrol. Manny grew up in New Britain, CT and has a goal to go to college and become a physical educator instructor. Help us raise money to build Manny a home in Glastonbury, CT.
