LAUGHTER YOGA

Did you know that you can laugh even if you don’t feel like laughing? You don’t need a great sense of humor to laugh; you can laugh even if you’re not happy.  In fact, you can laugh for no reason – with Laughter Yoga.  Laughter Yoga combines laughter exercises with Pranayamic breathing to increase oxygen levels in our bodies, leaving us feeling energetic and healthy.  Try it out for free and see how much better you feel.  A light lunch will be served.

METAIRIE MOVIE DAY:  HIS GIRL FRIDAY

Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell) is about to get hitched to dull insurance agent Bruce Baldwin (Ralph Bellamy) -- that's if her ex-husband, ruthless newspaper publisher Walter Burns (Cary Grant), doesn't succeed in winning her back in this battle-of-the-sexes screwball comedy. Meanwhile, reporters salivating for the scoop on a local voting conspiracy is just a minor distraction as Burns pulls out all the stops for the woman he loves.

MONDAYS (TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS) - Exercise

We’ve added a new class!  Because two days of exercise just isn’t enough, now you can exercise with the JCC seniors three times a week.  Join us on Mondays now, as well as Tuesday and Thursday.  This class is designed for seniors at all levels and abilities.  Either exercise from a chair or standing, according to your comfort level.  This class involves stretching and strength training.  Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes.  Check with your doctor before starting any exercise program.

TUESDAYS

Games Day

Bring your lunch on Tuesdays and stay for Games Day after the exercise class finishes.  We are still trying to put together a regular mah johngg game.  Please contact Rachel if you play or would like to learn.  Debbie Pesses has offered to do a refresher class for those who have not played for some time.  Rummy Q is going strong.  Let’s get another table started.  Coffee and desserts are provided.  Come out and spend the afternoon with your friends.
Every Tuesday of the month
