If you're wondering about this years clothing swap


We've now set the date for May 3 from 2-5 pm but of course we're happy to take clothing donations earlier than that. Based on the picture, it looks like someone got a great find at last year's swap... see what treasures await you! I'm also now got my hands full trying to blast to as many media outlets as possible on top of school and other projects.
One of the other projects I'm working is helping my friend Sarah Willet promote her participation in a 15 hour performance marathon. The event is being sponsored by Centarui Performing Arts Camp in order to raise money to build a school in Bunkulung Nepal, where the currently school only teaches up to grade 5. If you want to donate, please visit http://www.centauri.on.ca/marathon/team.htm.
There are other ways to help, listed on the facebook event page at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/event.php?eid=63498211388.

If you're wondering what's new with the studio

We have now added Pilates and Cardio Kick classes. Our Pilates is intense and a little more aerobic focused than most traditional Pilates classes. Turning your body into a lean, mean toning machine is just fine by me (and the people who keep coming in to take the class). Our Cardio Kick, is similar to boxercise in a bootcamp style. I took it last Thursday and it was awesome! The class is still small now, so there's more opportunity for personal attention.

Now that spring is aroud the corner it also means that it't time to think about our annual clothing swap. Last year we hundred of items collected for Anselma House and with a bigger studio to hold more clothes, I'm sure we can double it! Stay tuned for more details...
