Starting this Season on a Healthy Note

Diane Hanson, Fitness and Wellness Committee chair

The Fitness and Wellness Committee is excited for the start of the season! Our goal is to provide the Heritage Palms members with a variety of opportunities to learn, as well as expand, your existing knowledge about Healthy Living! Our upcoming Wellness Sessions will provide those opportunities. Here is our schedule for the first half of the season. Registration is encouraged and will be available online one month prior to each event. All sessions take place in the Activity Center.
