Subject: Bottle water

I read with interest the comments on bottle water and just wanted to say that it’s not Chatham Co. well water it is all well water.
 
My father-in-love was the most healthy person I knew.  I once heard his doctor tell him (who was also a good friend and golfing buddy) that he had the body of a thirty year old.  I’m telling you this because the one and only time I every saw him not well was when he had a kidney stone.  My in-loves moved from Durham City out to Durham County and also to well water and with in no time was so bad off and in pain that my mother-in-love called us to come help her.  It turned out to be a kidney stone and his doctor gave him a prescription to take care of the problem, which it did.  He never had another kidney stone.  I think that drinking bottle water is a better idea, all we need in life is another pill to take.
 
I feel for those who have had a kidney stone because I know it must have been very painful, because that was the only time I watch my father-in-love crawling on the floor.

Subject: Wellness of Chatham Meeting

Our next Wellness of Chatham meeting will be Wednesday, January 18th from 6:30 – 8pm at SMALL Cafe and B&B at 219 East Street in Pittsboro.

If you haven’t been there yet, you will find it quite a treat!  It’s become my favorite breakfast place by far! They are normally not open in the evenings and are kind enough to provide us with a place to meet.  Some light snacks will be available.   http://www.smallbandbcafe.com

Our speaker will be Judy Pick.  Judy is a beekeeper and will be talking to us about beekeeping and honey.  As many know, it is vitally important for us to help support the current bee population.  Judy will discuss what she and others in the area are doing to this end and how we can help.

I am very excited about this topic, and I hope you will join me for what promises to be a lovely, educational evening!  Also, please pass on this invitation to others whom you feel would be interested.  This group is for everyone and was designed to help us all come together as a community to learn, grow, share and improve our health and wellness, personally and environmentally.

To Your Health and that of our Community!

Subject: Be Active NC

Be Active North Carolina (www.activenc.org),  a non-profit organization that promotes physical activity and healthy living opportunities across the state, has been focusing on Chatham County this last year.

Working with the Chatham County Health Department, Be Active is working to help the citizens of the Moncure area create more opportunities for healthy living. The hope is to establish a parnership with Be Active, the citizens of Moncure, and the Sprott Center and to develop programming that would be available to all age groups and interests.

In the first step to create a wellness coalition of concerned citizens and community leaders, Be Active will be meeting with the Southeast Chatham Citizens Advisory Council on Tuesday, January 17, 7 p.m., at the Moncure Fire Department.

Anyone interested in learning more about this new wellness opportunity for Chatham County is welcome to attend.

Subject: Zumba Class

Patti,
There’s a great Zumba class held at the Duke Center for Living on Wednesday evenings at 5:30pm. We have a lot of fun and get a great workout at the same time. You can call the Duke Center for Living and get a pass to try the class, or see if they allow drop ins.  I have also heard that there’s a place in the same complex as the Chatham Marketplace that is holding Zumba classes. Might try both and see what you think.

For Patti & others who’d like to dance into 2012!

Zumba classes are being offered by Robin Wagoner at The Joy of Movement & at Ladies Fitness in Pittsboro.  Robin is a fantastic teacher!  Here is a blurb from The Joy of Movement webpage.
http://thejoyofmovementcm.com/index.html

Zumba at The Joy of Movement must be danced in dance shoes. No sneakers allowed. A minimum number of folks need to register to make this happen.
Pre-register with Robin and pay for the session by 12/31/11.
Contact her at wagonerrobin8@gmail.com. The session is $50. Classes will be on the following WEDNESDAY evenings in January and February at 7:00 on the following evenings:
1/4/12, 1/11/12, 1/18/12, 2/1/12, 2/8/12, 2/15/12

While I hear great things about Zumba, I’ve found the perfect “fitness fit” for me by dancing Nia.  Robin invited me to my first Nia class several years ago and I absolutely love it.  Dancing Nia has helped me incorporate a body, mind, spirit practice into my life that is totally fun!  The Joy of Movement at Chatham Mills has outstanding teachers of Nia, Zumba, Yoga, Martial Arts and more!  The studio is a beautiful space that welcomes everyone to come explore movement in their own way.

Did you make a New Year’s resolution to exercise more?  The Joy of Movement is the place for you!
