Birthday on the boat and summer fun
Arlene Baird, a North Hero summer resident for 30 years, invites you to view her collection for the August Art Exhibit at the Senior Center. Arlene captures our mood in her beautiful realism and dream-like oil paintings and watercolors. Arlene’s inspiration comes from the beauty that surrounds her: nature, animals or just the odd building that has seen better days.
New session added. Are you ready for an active summer? Join Ginger Lambert for Fitness for Every Body on Tuesday mornings from 9:15 a.m – 10:00 a.m. for the month of August. Using timed intervals and a series of stations this class will incorporate body weight, light weights and other cardio/strength building tools to boost strength, cardiovascular fitness, agility and flexibility. Joint and ligament issues will be taken into account. Every exercise can be modified for any ability or level of fitness.

The next Birding Expedition with Hank Kaestner will be on Wednesday, August 23. Please meet at the Center at 9:00 a.m. so we can carpool together to the location Hank has scouted for spectacular bird watching. Good views are guaranteed through Hank’s “Oh my God” telescope. Register for this event, so if we have to change the date due to bird migration or weather, we can call you. Registration necessary. No fee.
