WEDNESDAY MORNINGS WALKS
Lead's: Susan Harter: harterfry@aol.com
Peggy Pitzel: ppitzel100@gmail.com
This walking group differs from the more strenuious walk/hike by being slower and shorter. It's been popular with women who are just getting back into shape with walking or have previous or upcoming surgeries.
We meet every Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m. except for the third Wednesday. Walks are between 1 and 2 miles.
If you email Peggy Pitzel (ppitzel100@gmail.com) or Susan Harter (harterfry@aol.com) we will add you to our email list where we send out weekly information on the upcoming walk.
Come check us out, we've been having a lot of fun!
