Join us for these fun and lively classes taught by experienced professionals. If you love rhythm (or even if you are a little rhythm challenged) Zumba is for you! Zumba fuses Latin rhythms and easy to follow moves to create a dynamic workout system that will blow you away. The goal is simple: to work out, to love working out, and to stick with it! Interval training with fast & slow rhythms & resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat.ZUMBA TONING With Christine French Tuesdays: 6:30 - 7:30pmSpring Session Dates: : 4/29, (NO 5/6), 5/13, 5/20, 5/27, 6/3, 6/10Love Zumba but want to try something a little different? This fun and energetic class takes traditional Zumba moves and adds the challenge of resistance by adding light weights, resulting in a higher calorie burn than strength training alone and offering a superb opportunity for cardiovascular exercise. And, because it’s Zumba, it’s fun! You will find that adding resistance with light weights tones and sculpts specific muscle groups, such as your arms, core and lower body. Throw in high energy, upbeat music and you have a great night that helps get your body looking and feeling awesome!ZUMBA With Carol Bouchard THURSDAYS: 6:00 - 7:00pmWinter Session Dates: 1/9, 1/16, 1/23, 1/30, 2/6, 2/13, (NO 2/20), 2/27, 3/6, 3/13, 3/20, (NO 3/27), 4/3, 4/10, 4/17ZUMBA TONING With Christine French Tuesdays: 6:30 - 7:30pmWinter Session Dates: 1/7, 1/14, 1/21, 1/28, 2/4, 2/11, (NO 2/18), 2/25, 3/4, 3/11, 3/18, (NO 3/25), 4/1, 4/8, 4/15

There are 31 raised beds in the Garden plot contained in a fenced area of 50’ x 100’ at 49 Rockwood Rd.2. Each bed is constructed of pressure-treated wood and stable, non-toxic composite decking material for the sides. The boxes have a floor of ½’ grid, galvanized mesh, topped with landscape fabric. This allows drainage and produces an impervious barrier to burrowing animals.3. There are 3 types of beds, each sized differently for different needs. 3’ paths provide accessibility from all sides: there are three wheelchair-accessible beds measuring 10’ x 3’ x 30”, two smaller beds measuring 6’ x 3’ x 19” high, and 26 beds measuring 12’ x 3’ x 19” high. 4.
