AVALON – Through proclamation, Mayor Martin Pagliughi celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Sit and Be Fit program, which allows seniors to get exercise for muscle and bones while in a sitting position.
Pagliughi presented a special proclamation Jan. 30 to Cindi Dandridge from the Avalon Department of Recreation.
“Avalon is very fortunate to have Cindi teaching these classes to our seniors, three days a week,” Pagliughi said.
“The Sit and Be Fit class started with only three seniors in attendance. Today, it’s one of the most popular recreation programs in our community.”
Dandridge is an employee of the Avalon Recreation Center, and began the Sit and Be Fit program on Feb. 1, 1999.
The program has grown tremendously through the years, with three-dozen people attending the class in the winter, and over 60 people attending the class in the summer.
The Sit and Be Fit class is offered on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at the Avalon Recreation Center.
“Cindi has an exceptional way of teaching, and her ability to coach seniors through every step has them looking forward to her class each week,” Pagliughi said.
Seniors were treated to a luncheon.
Dennisville – As a parent of a Tech student it would be great if the school would update their staff directory. So many old staff still listed and no new teachers listed. What gives?
