Cost: $2.00 per class members

Location: Exercise Room
Description: We’d like to welcome back a new exercise class to the center, Zumba Gold. Zumba is a mix of low-intensity and high-intensity set to interval-style, calorie-burning Latin and World dance moves. For those who see the words "high-intensity." Fear not. The class, like all of our exercise classes, is designed with seniors in mind. This class will be tailored towards active older adults who are looking for a modified Zumba class that recreates the original moves at a lower-intensity. The instructor is Carole Fiedler, a certified Zumba instructor, who says the class will consist of toning and stretching before moving on to the dance moves. She has been taking Zumba for six years, has been a licensed Zumba instructor for over five years, and certified for Zumba Gold for one year. Class started in October, every Friday starting at 11:15am, but you are more than welcome to jump in at any time. Classes are only $2, and be sure to bring some water, a towel, and wear comfortable clothing and good shoes.
2010 Health Fair
By: Mike Sylva
Even though there was no worries about a swine flu epidemic, or a shortage of vaccines, there were still plenty of people who came to the Highland Senior Center’s Annual Health Fair

to get their shots. And while the lines didn’t stretch out for a hundred or so yards as in the past, like when we had the first shots available in the area, the line was still long. Maybe its because the shots only cost $10 here vs. $25 elsewhere, or maybe it’s because of all the other services and information we had on hand to help pass the time while over 300 people waited for their shots.

The weather was certainly on our side, as previous days had extreme heat, wind, and thunderstorms. On the day of the fair it was a sunny day, but not too hot with a nice breeze every once in a while to make it comfortable. Meanwhile, we tried to have most of the services inside so that while you did wait in line, most of it was spent inside with the air conditioning. That way, when fair goers got their blood pressure checked, it was more reasonable. However, nothing we could do could help with the body mass index. Members were on their own for that one. Nothing we could’ve done to help them with that...sorry.

Thanks to the volunteers who came to set up and work the fair, all of our wonderful vendors who came out to make this a success. Additional thanks go our to the Highland Police Department’s Citizen’s Patrol for their excellent traffic control. Mostly we would like to thank our event sponsors, the Physicians of Beaver Medical Group and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.
