tai chiTai Chi is an optimal exercise for all ages. It involves movements of the entire body without the risk of injury. Done in coordination with one’s concentration and breathing, these movements release tension through the body. The gently flowing progress of movements in tai chi cultivates whole-body health. A study by the Arthritis Foundation supports many benefits of tai chi, such as reduction of pain and inflammation, lowered blood pressure, improved immune function and improved balance and flexibility. This weekly tai chi exercise class will teach simple forms that are easy to learn, but challenging to master. Betty Doran and Linda Kline will lead the weekly sessions. ****$25 for students that know the entire Health Form & $50 for all others including new students; Drop-ins are $5 per class**** Age Day Date Time Cost LocationAll Thur 1/16-5/29 7:00 – 8:00pm $25/$50 Citizens Ctr.

The term “tattoo” derives from the cries of the 17th and 18th century Low Country innkeepers, who, as the fifes and drums of the local regiment signaled a return to quarters would cry, “Doe den tap toe!” – “Turn off the taps!” The sound of the “taps” caused the innkeeper’s customers to depart and return to their barracks. The word “tattoo” evolved over time and refers to what developed as a ceremonial performance of military music by massed bands today.
