12 weeks of Reachin' . . .
The Reach Center opened just a couple of months ago and this old building feels alive. Dena is here every morning teaching ten teens how to cook . . . it smells wonderful and every once in a while there are leftovers. We hear cello music almost every day, and piano several times a week. Men and women are getting here early in the morning for Fusion and Nia workouts, and dozens of young girls come every afternoon for tumbling and dancing with the EDGE. Rich has over a dozen students in his Music in Action class . . . they sound great and are obviously having lots of fun . . . the building pumps with their energy. Emily has a group of kids taking her Hands-on Spanish class, which has led to requests for an adult conversational Spanish class. Anyone ready to teach that?
There are many more classes and events happening . . . all we need is you to join the fun!
It was a Grand Opening!
The Grand Opening was a lot of fun! Neighbors and friends came and we met many new people as well. We gave many tours of the building and we met with several people interested in teaching new classes. The entertainment was great. Rich Glauber set the tone with some great music that got everyone singing and banging on percussion instruments. We had several excellent dance exhibitions and fitness workouts. Classes have begun, so come on in and get active!
It's been a long time coming . . .
Talk to us about how you might use the building. Perhaps you want to teach a class . . . and take a class. Maybe you want to have a meeting . . . and have a small party. Or you might want to show slides of your trip to an exotic location . . . and stretch those muscles in a relaxing yoga class. Learn to knit . . . and walk on your hands. Start a political campaign . . . and create group poems. Maybe you just want to stop by to see what's going on while you're on your way to Sundance or Humble Beagle or Allann Bros.
You can begin to see just how many ways you can be active at The Reach!
The Reach Center is an open-ended activity center that will bring neighbors and friends together in a variety of ways. We hope to become a neighborhood hub of activity in South Eugene. Help us make it what you want it to be.
P.S. Much Thanks to Carol Schirmer and her team at Schirmer and Associates for shepherding us through the process with the City of Eugene. We couldn't have done it without them! In fact, we probably would have given up long ago . . .
