“Lets Get Coffee” Meet and Mingle
Slow down, stay casual, and be at ease with Project Jewish Love on Sunday, May 15th at Maverick Coffee.
We’ll spend some time together getting acquainted in a comfortable setting.
It’s that simple!
Aqua Zumba is perfect for those
looking to make a splash by adding
low-impact, high-energy aquatic
exercise to their fitness routine. There
is less impact on your joints during
an Aqua Zumba class so you can
really let loose. Water creates natural
resistance, which means every step is
more challenging and helps tone your
muscles. Join Colin out at the pool for
this one-hour class. Drop ins welcome.
Sundays, 11 am
Session 1: April 3-24
Session 2: May 1-22
