BOOT CAMP WORKOUT

Any neighbors interested in an invigorating Saturday morning “boot camp” style work out?
                                                                            
Local personal trainer from Driven 
Fitness, Mike Barnhart, is setting up a workout session at Laura Lea (off Edgewater on way to F8). Mike trains several people in our area, is very motivating and his workouts are challenging.  It’s a great way to burn calories and get that weekend cardio in.

We can join Laura Lea’s group but if we have enough folks interested we can look into setting something up in Vineyard Plantation.

The cost for 8, one-hour Sat. morning sessions is $120 per person. If you’re interested call Tina Fanning (409-0565) or email Tfanning1@ec.rr.com. For more info on boot camp training, call Mike at 538-4966.

CORNHOLE GOES CAMO

Congratulations Bob & Lance!!!

Saturday's Cornhole Tournament could not have been more fun - the weather MIRACULOUSLY held out for us, competition on the boards was fierce and the number of neighbors and friends who came out to show support on Armed Forces Day was outstanding! And wouldn't you know it...Coach Bob took home yet another trophy. Swear, as soon as he donned Gordon's "hair hat" there was no turning back. Congrats to Bob's partner Lance Conner who is the proud owner of his very first cornhole trophy, which is hopefully being prominently displayed somewhere in his home (with Tracie's permission of course).

A big thanks to DJ Rick Ruiz for spinnin' the tunes and to Peter Murray for emceeing the tournament. And an especially huge thank you to all of our military neighbors who serve our country and keep us safe. Our gratitude is enormous and we are so proud to have you and your families in Vineyard Plantation!
