Members are requested to remind their friends who do not come regularly to our gatherings.
2) Today we had to cancel our TAI CHI session as the instructor - ZHIJUN WANG could not come on our scheduled hour. So we had Nishaben Hirani assisted by Chandrikaben Patel to give us full session of ZUMBA workout. She conducted several Yogic poses with fast workout so that everyone felt hot in the Hall soon on this cold day. She continued with fast workout with many Yogic poses for the knees and joints of the body. Everyone joined to do the Zumba workout with music - even the most elderly. Members really enjoyed the music movements with tunes of "Kenya inchi yetu hakuna matata", Makarina etc.
Many thanks to both from NVK.
