ATTENTION ALL LINE DANCERS & LINE DANCE
WANNABE’S:
New Days & Hours
Submitted by Shirley Hedge
Have you been hearing all the fun your neighbors are having at
line dance lessons & great parties? Do you want to see for
yourself? If you like to laugh, even at yourself, now you have
an opportunity to try line dancing. Even if you’ve never done
any type of dancing before, it doesn’t matter, as long as you
bring your sense of humor with you. A new beginner’s line
dance class starts on Tue., Nov. 3rd in the GH. Lessons are on
Tuesday and Thursday from 4-5pm. Lessons are $1 each.
Come early & socialize over a cup of coffee (& sometimes cookies), & get to know some new friends. Our people are the best
in Pennbrooke.
Line dancing is done without a partner, so it is for both women
& men. There are many couples that attend. We try to make it
a fun activity for those over 50. It builds bone & muscle
strength, helps with balance & helps with memory & thinking
(unless you’re thinking of the teachers☺)
If you have questions, please call Peter Statham 787-9653 or
Shirley Hedge 321-4019. Hope to see you there.
Activities Scheduling
Groups requiring the use of the Grand Hall, Activity Center, or
other community facility should schedule their time to include
any set-up and knockdown preparations needed. For example, if
scheduling an event from four to five PM, that needs table and
chair set-ups before, and knockdowns after, the group should
book times from 3:45pm to 5:15pm. That way, no overlap will
occur between functions. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Your support was admirable and
tremendously appreciated!

Hi everyone, first I would like to thank you all for the kind and warm welcome I have received has just made me speechless (which if you have met me is hard to do).
I have done a little research and am trying to pull together some of those activities that have been requested. A few of the one’s I would like to see if I could get a
response is La Nouba by Cirque de Soleil--This is the most amazing thing you will ever see. If you have never been it’s a must see show in person. La Nouba by
Cirque Du Soleil combines the most amazing acrobatics, staging and stunts with a truly humorous and exotic acts. For tickets the cost is $118 which includes show
and transportation. There is a sign up sheet in the Activity Center if you are interested please sign up with phone number and I will begin working on it. The trick is
to get the tickets well in advance because it just isn’t worth going unless you are in the front row, lower level where all the action is.
My next trip I would like to book is 12/19/2009 - 3:00 pm, The Tillis Family Christmas is a lifetime of Christmas memories set to music. Former entertainer of the
year, award winning comedian, Hall of Fame songwriter and sometimes movie star Mel Tillis and 2-time Grammy Award Winning daughter Pam Tillis will perform
in Silver Springs A group of 30 people would cost $51 for show and transportation. The sign-up sheet is also in the Activity Center. I am working with a different
bus company for smaller groups and if I get it setup, of course I will pass the savings onto you.
Three days only, December 26th, 27th and 28th is Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the “The Rocketts”. Price for this is $61.45 for lower level seats and then
whatever bus price I can get. I would have to set a deadline on this to have time to buy the lower seats before they are all gone so please Sign-up by November 10,
2009.
On another note I would like to have Pennbrooke Fairways enter into the Leesburg Downtown Christmas Parade Saturday, December 5th, 2009. I have already
started on some of the plans but I really need a Christmas Parade Chairperson. If interested please call me.

the best shows for our 2010 dances and concerts. You
will receive a list of entertainers as you enter and I
would appreciate your honest opinion of each group.

dance or comedy show. However I must offset the
cost hopefully by providing a delicious & reasonable
lunch. “Showcase Salad” will consist of a bed of lettuce with your choices of any three-Tuna Salad,
Chicken Salad, Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad and
Cottage Cheese. For $4 you get a Showcase Salad &
Drink. So come out enjoy a great show have lunch

The discussion
group will start
deliberations on Nov 10th in the meeting room of the grand hall
at 10am. We are hoping to see some new faces this year.
There seems to be plenty of current events to discuss. Come
on in and let your thoughts be expressed. Of course, the first
subject will be health care.
 Will the government presence ruin the program, or has the
free market already done that?
 Are seniors going to lose some of their coverage?
 Let's examine other countries success or failures.
Join us as we discuss much much more...
Pilates is said to be the backbone of strength…one of the
best ways to improve your core strength. Pilates is designed
to lengthen the body and improve strength and flexibility.

“Pilates is the perfect fitness foundation,” says Alycea Ungaro, author of Pilates: Body in Motion. The systematic symmetrical strengthening you realize with it will prepare you
for every other activity you perform.
I want to thank all the friends and neighbors and especially
the line-dancing group, for your cards and prayers and great
food dishes during my recover period. Ken Fluehr
Pilates classes meet every Monday, Wednesday and Friday
