The local chapter of the California Retired Teachers Association will meet on the third Friday in January rather than the usual second Friday. The meeting will be held January 20, at 10 a.m. at the Helen Gray Center on Whitefeather Road in Joshua Tree. Members will welcome Silver Sneakers instructor, Teresa Mizusawa, who will speak about health and fitness. In addition to speaking, Mizusawa will lead attendees in a few light exercises. Those who wish to participate should wear comfortable clothing and athletic shoes, and are invited to bring light weights and/or stretchy bands, as well. Reservations are required. (There is no cost to those who attend the meeting but choose not to order lunch, but seats still need to be reserved for those attending only the meeting.) Please call Gay Smith, at 760-369-2211, no later than Monday, January 16, if you plan to attend.
