This morning I was walking my two little dogs before the morning became hot. As I was going along, I tripped over a protruding piece of brick in the sidewalk.”Oh no”, I thought, “here I go over”. Fortunately, I’ve been going to the AFAP arthritis classes with Ilene, and the muscle memory from those classes kept me upright. I soon as I got home, I signed up for the next class just to give me a bit more muscle memory. TB

We seek to integrate our mission into all our programs
