Three tai chi classes offered winter quarter at the Shoreline Senior Activity Center - registration open now

Thursday, December 21, 2023

Mary Newbill, tai chi instructor
Wikipedia explains Tai chi as "an internal Chinese martial art practiced for self-defense and health. 

"Known for its slow, intentional movements, tai chi has practitioners worldwide and is particularly popular as a form of gentle exercise and moving meditation, with benefits to mental and physical health."

The Shoreline Senior Activity Center offers three classes: beginning, continuing, and "playful"

Tai Chi Players 

We are excited to announce that we’re bringing back Tai Chi Players, taught by Mary Newbill. This is a playful class, where you can enjoy the movement of Tai Chi with no need to memorize a form.

This class is in addition to Mary’s Beginner Tai chi and Continuing Tai Chi classes. Mary Newbill has studied Tai Chi for 50 years, and has taught since 1980. She is a retired school teacher, and now practices therapy and energy work.

Monday, November 27, 2023

We at North City Water District look forward to this special moment every year— when hundreds of colorful lights in the shape of a giant Christmas tree suddenly light up the night sky, installed by our crew on top of our 3.7 million gallon reservoir.

As always, this festival offers fun for the entire family, including live music, sing-along carols, warm beverages, tasty Christmas cookies, and photos with Santa Claus... but there's something extra this year: 

The Center for Human Services is conducting a Toy Drive!

If you are able, consider bringing a new, unwrapped toy to donate on the night of the event. 

Here are a few ideas:
  • Infants: plush animals, sensory and developmental toys
  • Children ages 3-10: books, science kits, Legos, puzzles, games, soccer balls or basketballs, art kits / supplies, dolls, plush animals
  • Teens: sports equipment, board games, science kits, art supplies, gift cards for clothing or music stores
We hope to see you all there!
