Fall is finally here and it’s time to think about avoiding all the holiday stress by exercising. On Monday and Thursday, professional instructors come to SCOV and teach a Joseph Pilates core strengthening mat class. Pilates workouts are not just sets of simple exercises. They affect our entire system of bones and joints. Your abdominal muscles, back, hips, arms and more are strengthened and toned. This means you’ll have improved posture, flexibility, strength and balance. The classes include many warm-up stretches and are one hour total body workouts. The classes are designed for seniors, so all exercise movements can be modified for different levels of performance. The cost is only $8/class and annual club dues are $20 pp. Please stop by and watch one of our classes. Questions, call Mary.

The Mixed Social Bridge Club has resumed playing contract bridge in an informal, relaxed and fun environment. We want everyone who comes to sit at a table and play bridge. So, if needed, we will make a table of three or have a player float from table to table. We start promptly at 8:30 AM, come a few minutes early to socialize and partner up. We have coffee, and members often bring goodies to go with it. We also have online games using Trickstercards.com. Please join us. We welcome new players.
