husband and dog. She has three children and particularly enjoys spending time with her
beautiful grandchildren. Please make sure to say hi to Sarah if you see her around.

Connie has been an instructor with us years in a variety of instructor roles.. She is a certified
personal trainer, certified group fitness instructor, AFAA certified and RSA, Yoga certified
200 hour RYT. She has received 100 hours of training with Yoga Fit Warriors, which
specializes in trauma and PTSD designed for Military men and women. This class in not
intended to replace any medical treatment or traditional therapy, but can be used to
compliment it. This class begins in a safe space, with guided breathing and turning inward
to connect with the mind and body. Students are then led through physical poses with
specific poses designed to help release trauma. By gently bringing the brain/body back into
a rest mode it can help restore physical, mental and emotional balance.
The Senior Center is appreciative and thrilled that she is offering this class Free to Veterans
and Military personnel. This is a population that has done so much for our country and
sometimes they are underserved. This is her way of giving back to those that protect
and protected our nation. This is a class for them to take time for themselves to destress,
rest and restore, put themselves first for one hour a week.
There are coffee houses for veterans to get together and socialize. This class will offer time
alone time. Veterans are a group that continue to serve through giving back to the
community they live, we are proud to give back to them.

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to attend a Presidential function at the White House or what the Family Quarters of the White House look like?

Join us as former White House butler, Alan DeValerio tells about his experience working under three different presidents – Carter, Reagan and Bush.  He’ll give you the inside details about all the preparations involved in White House entertaining, and how it has evolved over the years from FDR to the present.  Not only will he relate his firsthand experiences with history, but he’ll pass on the stories he heard from those who have been taking care of our First Families ever since the Franklin Roosevelt administration!  Alan will also display many of the White House artifacts (menus, programs, Christmas cards, photos) that he has collected over the years.  This is a presentation that you won’t want to miss!

Please sign up at Reception  if you will be attending.
