Change of Plans for Wednesday and Monday
It turns out we will have Wednesday AM training tomorrow morning (as well as PM); instead we will take off next Wed Sept 8 both 830 and 430 pm, so come to 6 am training that day please.
In another slight change, we won’t have training this Sun Sept 5, but we will have training on Monday, Labor Day (both 830 am and 430 pm but not 6 am coed); we will also have Step aerobics both days (and 1030 am Zumba as well on Monday). Sorry for any inconvenience these last-minute changes may cause!

Someone you know might need this information:
The Child Care Assistance Program subsidizes the cost of child care for families at or below 200% of the federal poverty level (currently $52,400 for a family of four) that are working and/or in school. There was an amendment done and it would qualify families whose income is above the 200 percent of the federal poverty level but at or below three hundred fifty percent. Check their website and see if they are eligible. https://www.nmececd.org/
