The Party To Celebrate You!
Since opening in 2001, Momentum has celebrated the opportunity to serve women like you who make the choice to improve your body, mind & spirit, so you can better affect those around you. Thus, we use Momentum's "birthday" to honor and thank you for helping to make Momentum what it is today. now seven years later! If it was not for the dedicated members, Momentum would not exist, so letas have a party in your honor! Likewise, as one of Momentum's key charities, we use the Birthday Bash to kick-off our fundraising efforts for the ALS Association in hopes of someday finding a cure for the dreaded disease as Momentum dedicates the day to former employee and family member, Pamela Ruhland, who lost her battle to ALS in April of 2006. In her honor, we recognize our bodies as amazing vehicles to move through life-that allow us to express our thoughts, actions and emotions. We use this special event to celebrate our movement, and thus, celebrate our lives. As Pam had once expressed in her quickly weakening state, "Focus on what you have, and not in what you don't; in what you can do, and not in what you can't. A step, a smile, even a breath are amazing gifts. don't take them for granted. I once used to struggle to lose weight. now I just struggle for my next breath.
Join us on Saturday, April 12 for our "Lucky Number Seven" Birthday Bash where you will have a day full of great classes, informative and inspiring seminars, chances to win exciting prizes, but most of all, a day to relish in your body's gift of life. Winning teams from the Amazing Race will be recognized, new information on the future direction of Momentum will be announced, food will be served, games will be played, team-taught classes will be presented, nails will be painted, muscles will be released. and that's all before 12noon! The day begins at 7am and goes until 3pm. Join us for any or all of the activities.
