IFFP YOGA - Come Stretch, Strengthen, & Connect|

11 am -12 pm in the Dance Studio: 

Fall 2014 Dates: 11/23, 12/7, 12/14

Join fellow IFFP members for a fun, laid-back yoga class that's appropriate for absolute beginners (really!) as well as experienced yogis.  You'll stretch and strengthen your body, calm your mind, and come away clear-eyed to start the week.  

Janice Simsohn Shaw has taught yoga since 2001 and teaches a flowing form, drawing from a number of different yoga traditions and styles.  Longtime fabulous IFFP member Carol Muskin, also a yoga teacher, will occasionally substitute.  

Classes are $15/each -- please sign up with Miranda for 4 or 5 classes.  Drop-in students also welcome, but registration through IFFP is strongly encouraged to ensure we have critical mass to rent the room and pay the teachers!

Have a child in K thru 6th grade?

Have you hired your children to do the household jobs you don't have time for? Who knows, they might actually enjoy doing the chores you dislike most! IFFP kids in grades K through 6th are encouraged to do extra chores (above and beyond their usual jobs) for you and for friends and neighbors, to earn money that will be used to purchase new cleaning equipment and supplies for Miriam's House, part of N Street Village. 

Here are the things on their wish list: 

• All purpose cleaners: Lysol All-Purpose Cleaner, Clorox Kitchen and Bath Clean-up, and Fantastic
• Mops
• Oven cleaner
• Dishwashing liquid
• Laundry Detergent
• Paper towels
• Vacuum cleaner
• Brooms
• Dust pans
• Dust Buster
• Dusters
• Swiffer duster refills
• Clorox wipes
• Lysol wipes
• Towels (New)

As we've done in past years, we'll keep track of the kids' earnings by grade. I will collect money at the Sunday School table on Nov. 23 and Dec. 7. Let's see how much money your children can raise in the next three weeks!

Here is info about N Street Village: http://www.nstreetvillage.org/about/

Do your kids need more job sign-up sheets and/or fliers to give their neighbors? Email me and I'll send them to you. I'll also have them at the Sunday School table.
