The big day is finally here. Open House is Wed and thursday, June 16 and 17. Our ribbon cutting is Wed June 16 at 11:30. We have 17 vendors coming in for the day, they will be set up down throughout the Franklin Center. We have a large variety of vendors, Silpada and Lia Sophia Jewelry, Mary Kay and Amway, Pampered Chef and Kettle Korn, Massage and a nurse practitioner, along with many others. Each of the vendors will be giving a door prize, so you can register to win at each table. Curves has over 15 door prizes also which you can register for.
My members are donating refreshements, my members will also be showing the equipment and how to do the Curves circuit. Remember its a 30 minute workout designed for women that is fun, fast and safe. Curves circuit incorporates all 5 components of a workout. Warm up, cardio, strength, cool down and stretching in that 30 minutes and can burn up to 500 calories in that 30 minutes.
We are still accepting appointments to give free fitness assessments, however you do not need one to attend. It is just to make life a bit simpler these two days.
Please feel free to bring a friend. We hope to see you there. come have fun and see what it is all about.

The Dash
LIFE BETWEEN THE “DASH”
I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
from the beginning...to the end.
He noted that first came her date of birth
and spoke the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all
was the “dash” between those years. (1934 -1998)
For that dash represents all the time
that she spent alive on earth...
and now only those who loved her
know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own;
the cars...the house...the cash,
what matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our “dash”.
So think about this long and hard...
are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
that can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
to consider what's true and real,
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
and more often wear a smile...
remembering that this special “dash”
might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy's being read
with your life's actions to rehash...
would you be proud of the things they say
about how you spent your “dash”?
